Vr4 for sale..? or can it work?
are you guys all interested in just parts or would a whole Vr4 be useful? I understand the back side of the case is bigger or the front or something- i dont know centrificals, but i've got a Vr4 that needs the ball drive redone.
I dont know how these are supposed to be street driven. My friend bought it directly from Paxton back in the day, and it made it up the street twice before flaking the steel off the ball drives..... and Paxton wouldn't warranty a "race" blower. he does still have the dipstick oil cooler thingy.
so i dont know if i should rebuild it and try to get more than 150 extra ponies out of my 415 inch small block dodge (10.15:1 compression, 292*/ .509" / 108 LSA Purple cam) i know the cam is rowdy for a blower, but would it even see enough boost to get me more than 150 hp?
Is this something i should even be trying, or should i get rid of it--cuz, to be honest, nitrous would be easier for 150-200 hp. Hell, it's damned near impossible to find a 6-71 intake manifold for a small block dodge...

Multiple VR4 kit purchase discounts:
Conversation with Craig from Paradise Wheel 6/23/2010:
Q: Can I get a better price if I buy two kits? On another note, what would a complete VR4 unit go for if you had the parts? I can pass along the word and see if we can drum up some more interest from that angle too.
Craig, “I don't have a firm price yet because I have to make them first. i sold them for 600.00 before and if you buy 2 I will discount the 2nd one for sure.”
Q: Good to know, I may buy two when you make them again just to have a spare. Do you mind if I pass along that you will discount if people buy multiple kits?
Craig,” Sure, But no pricing yet. Could be cheaper when I get to make them in bigger numbers.”
Note this is regarding upgrade kits, not the blower.
