Blower install complete

[Carguy68]

$1000 for the install and Dyno after.
No idea if they're an authorized Ford installer but they are a Roush recommended installer which is enough for the warranty.
No idea what the weight gain is.

I looked them up and they are listed as a Ford dealer which is really good. My local Ford dealership wants $2300 for install. Love to hear more about how it drives etc over the next weeks. Any warnings about having so much more power now you may start breaking things in the drive line or burn up the clutch?

No warnings really. Nothing should break unless you throw some slicks on there at which point you will probably snap a half shaft after a couple 4k+ launches.

The warranty is an extra $1k from Roush so 1k install then 1k warranty.

I'll be sure to post more detailed impressions as I get to open it up more

is this car your daily driver?

Yes it is.

You would be surprised what kind of difference a custom tune from vmp would do for you. I found the roush tune to still be very flat at the bottom end (not a good flat either). Justin could really wake that thing up for you.

I know the Roush tune is still pretty conservative but I'm not going to take their tune off and lose the warrenty I just paid for. Once I finish the 36k I'll probably put the stage three kit on and have brenspeed or someone else do the custom tune.

Stage three kit and lt's will get me where I want rwhp wise so I can live with waiting a little while to finish getting there. The track mode does liven things up a bit though

How much was the blower? And where did you buy it from? Thanks and congrats!

Love to see some pictures. I take it the drive ability is satisfactory. Did they use the stock round throttle body or the oval one from the GT500?

The blower was $6800($6795 if you want to be exact.) Bought from and installed by Brenspeed. Thanks!

I'll get those pictures ASAP! I've been feeling better today so I'm going to try and get the camera out tomorrow and take care of that.

Drivability is great there was no real need to retrain my foot, I just have to be a little more prepared when I get into boost is all.

The throttle body is a twin 60MM supplied by Roush

So how is it drive around with over 600HP? Show us some pics please.

Here is quick engine shot. I haven't had time to break out my real camera yet. So far I'm loving the extra horsepower.

My only problem is I like being in boost so my mpg is going down haha

Supercharged over 600 hp and a completely closed airbox...now how do they do that?:doh:

Sarcasm alert in case you can't figure it out.;)
