Daily ROUSH in northeast?

[dominic msu]

Does anybody daily a ROUSH stage 1 or 2 in New England or anywhere else with snow? I was looking for a little more dramatic acceleration than a non supercharged mustang. My current 2019 with PP1 and magna ride just doesn’t have enough punch for my liking. But I am concerned with trying to take that much power into snow.
Any thoughts are appreciated

I recently had a phase 2 Roush put on my 2018. Part throttle is no different than stock. If anything, throttle tip-in is softer. I don't drive mine in the snow but unless you get deeper into the throttle and in the boost, you will not see anything more dangerous in the snow than stock. If you have the modes, you can use snow/wet and have it even less aggressive.

Roush Stage 1 and Stage 2 cars are not supercharged. Only the Stage 3 cars are supercharged.
OP,..........are you referring to a Stage 3 car?? There are two PHASES with the STAGE 3 cars.

PHASE 1 is 710HP/610TQ.
PHASE 2 is 750HP/670TQ.

"Dominic" If I read correctly you have a 6 speed. Maybe go to 4.09 gears or even higher.

Yes. Stage 3 phase 2. Was looking at the Edelbrock as well and got the terms mixed up

The amount of power to the rear wheels is directly proportional to your right foot.

Not mashing the gas pedal when trying to leave from a stop in snowy weather will greatly improve your ability to move. Keeping traction control on and maybe starting in 2nd gear will also control the increased power from a supercharger.

I'd rather drive an old beater truck on snow days to save my baby but knock yourself out. You will have to put it in Wet\Snow mode and get snow tires. No different than than having no FI.

Well that’s where you and I differ. I couldn’t imagine wanting to drive anything else I’d rather put the money in new rims and tires then a whole different car
