They are a self install kit and worthwhile doing yourself. Dick Scott Dodge in Plymouth, MI has put some on. They have an excellent Viper mechanic there. With water/meth, you can go to a 6.5 pound pulley, but we kept it simple. The 5 pounder will work much better if it can breathe better. ie: headers, 3" pipe, high lift roller rockers. Power improvements with a 5 pounder should see you about equal to the 08 Viper, maybe a little better if you open up the breathing. I also changed to a 3.45 rear end and put a lightweight flywheel on. I think it's the perfect set up for a 5 pounder. Heads would be the only other mod I would consider and only then if something broke. We are quite happy with the car just the way it is. We have 35K Roe miles between the two cars. I think it's a worthwhile addition.
You definitely need to put a O2 wide band set up on there if you go with a Roe. You're running blind without it.

Steve, what do you mean by O2 wide band set up?
