Question for guys who actually have the the Roush Kit

[Stymee]

Not sure what good a SC is, especially stage 2, when you can't put Drag radials or R compound tires on it without voiding the warranty. I can barely hold power with my R rated tires in certain conditions but certainly much better than I did on my Continentals extreme contacts sports did.

Does every supercharger company stipulate no R compound tires because if that's the case to keep the warranty then having the warranty is stupid

I mean, let’s be real, most guys wanna put a DR on the car and make a few passes a yr?

Not sure about Whipple's but Roush's doesn't. I actually thought the guy on the Edlebrock thread was crazy. Then they posted the proof from the Edlebrock's warranty information. I've looked over Roush's and other than oil type, tune, oil frequency change, and other obvious things it's pretty simple.

That's right, I remember that thread.
Man that’s dumb, we sell a kit but we don’t allow u to race it on a tire?

I think it’s gonna be Roush S1 for me, I got a killer price on the kit from my local speed shop (Friends) but will still need a Ford Dealer to install it, luckily my dealer who I bought my car from does the installs. I just need to find out if they’ll let me buy my own Roush kit and just have them install it or getting the warranty requires me buying the kit from them? Of course if they were to match my price I got on the kit then I’d go through the dealer.

Anyone who is ASE certified can install it. Your speedshop will do a better job, usually cheaper, and usually dyno it before and after. Mine actually cut my tower brace to fit over the SC. Looks sick.

That’s true, as they are ASE certified

For what it is worth, two different techs told me that unless I was going to do an after market tune, go with Roush or Whipple.

As for DRs and warranty concerns, wouldn't it be pretty easy to just put your regular street wheels/tires back on in the event a warranty claim was needed?

Well I’d like to be honest, if certain companies give u a warranty and sell u 200+ hp you would think they should at least stand behind it, I mean u buy a blower kit with a canned tune which is carrying a warranty, what do the companies think, your not gonna race it?

Why buy the kit in the first place?

Hell street racing is far more dangerous and I don’t get into that, I wanna throw a drag radial on the car, drive to Atco a few few times a Yr and race the car, after that I won’t beat on it on the street, just some rollouts on hwys here and there just to put a grin on my face

I had bad wheel hop with my street tires at the strip. Once I got the DRs for strip use, my wheel hop issue was 100% gone due to the better traction. I maintain that the DRs probably helped PREVENT driveline damage.

My warranty lasted about 2 weeks. Broke #7 piston, and Roush made good on the warranty. After that the dealer flashed the latest calibrations. That flash ended up being corrupted. Weird shifting, loss of gas pedal. I'm now tuned by PBD. The car runs amazing.

For Phase 2 Roush needs to address the heat soak issue beyond just a new LTR. With more power there's more heat. Composite spacers for the blower manifold would be nice along with the supporting accessories.

Good to hear the Roush warranty worked!

Sorry to hear that but it does show you Roush stood behind their warranty.

So what year GT do u have?

Wow, again so sorry you lost a piston. Glad your together again, was the tune your dealer loaded the very last run Roush released?

How you doing with your spacers?

No, this happened in the spring.
