Decided on Roush SC, now what else?

Normally you have to take the car to the dealership that installed the supercharger for any warranty work. Just because they say that you have a warranty doesn’t mean much. They will look for a way out of paying for the repair so don’t count on it. Coyotes hardly ever throw a rod. They break ringlands

I realize the OP wants this upgrade for drags. But what has the experience been with the Stage 2 PLUS the below? I'm in the similar boat in that still on warranty and want a reliable matched system for road course use, HPDE format, about 10 times a year, 4x20min sessions for the day.

To OP, I have also gotten 2021 Twister Orange GT Premium with Roush kit installed by the dealer on the new car and been 100% happy with my choice so far. I get it that Whipple and other recommendations are superior as far as overall potential and everything, but I really have zero interest in pushing it further as far as power. In fact, I would have chosen 50hp less config any day if it had more reliability built in. You cannot really use all of this power on the street anyways and I have zero interest in chasing drag racing times, I just enjoy one of the best out of the box daily driving setups available.

Now, I could have gone Whipple, but it's an extra hassle to find a good installer and who knows how it goes at the end. With my choice, I have one dealer that sold me the car and doing all of the install work and mods. They cannot blame anyone else. As a backup, there is another roush certified dealer within 30min driving range. I have zero certified Whipple installers in my area to the best of my knowledge...

One really good upgrade that you would need in my opinion is another set of wheels and tires. If you don't plan to do HPDE type of stuff, get a nice set of staggered wheels with 305-325's at the back, drag radials preferrable. The rest is really SC-agnostic and you should just enjoy the car the way it is, then decide what is it that you want out of it.

Things to keep in mind depending on how hard you get on the car (the power is addicting)

replace the whole shifter to an MGW… complete night and day difference that truly takes the “slop” out of the shifter feel

OPGs/CS - cheap insurance compared to what could happen

Wider/Stickier tires - as most have said, the pizza cutter tires won’t cut it and most street tires as well. Michelin makes great street tires or a drag radial will ge r the job done. If you’re taking it to the track then you’ll want a bias ply tire since you’re stick

axles -wheel hop on these cars is catastrophic and the BMR lockouts will help but any hard launches may snap the stock ones. GForce or DSS make great options

enjoy the car and power!!

axles and driveshaft along with some good tires, and viking rear shocks is where i would start, then add there as budget allows
