Edelbrock vs. Roush

[69mach1-395]

^Thanks.
I guess I was really looking for a way to reclaim the 30% loss, or more, and still retain warranty. It seemed to me that FI was the answer. 30% = 130 hp in this case and am not sure NA can do that, with or w/o warranty. Anything greater than 130 hp is just icing on the cake.
Is there a link to the whipple warranty? I could not dig it up on their site.

Whipple has done so much reliability testing and has the most safety features built into their tune i wouldn't worry about the optional warranty.

If you go NA you'll be adding headers, tune, intake, and likely cams in the future. This will kill you're drivetrain warranty. I like the Roush phase 2 but it doesn't come with a warranty. Also keep in mind that if you want to maintain some driveable balance with the extra power (600+) you'll need to invest in the suspension.

Keep in mind that the Whipple warranty is strictly an engine warranty. The Roush and Edelbrock have power train warranties. So the Roush and Edelbrock have more extensive warranties. However, the Whipple warranty is half the price of the Roush warranty. The Edelbrock warranty is free, which is nice... but I don't think the Edelbrock is really in the same league as the Roush or Whipple. I can respect a warranty being important, but don't let it be the #1 factor in your choice. No warranties cover what you expect them to anyways in the end. If you get the Roush installed at a Ford dealer, that will be your best bet, purely warranty wise. But I have had Whipple cover things as well for me, without even a second guess, and it's nice that Whipple will answer questions at 9pm on a Sunday night

Whipple and headers he will probably still make around 700rwhp.
especially if he added a can of obntanium.

it's unobtainiuim.

Guard5.0,
When you did the Roush tune did you get a crank error?
Thanks

 

[Guard5.0]

Nope. CEL was for O2 sensor. None now since I added the Vibrant restrictors.

 

[Evilwill]

hey Guard5.0 which restrictor did you go with from Vibrant? the weld on or the thread on?

 

[Guard5.0]

Threaded, smallest insert

we've installed the roush with the warranty before, but your a little far from us.

find a good local dealer / installer or the roush and they can get you dialed in

I got the crank error when I had my PCM reflashed to the 670 tune, dealer did the crank relearn free under warranty that was with me sending it into Roush and reinstalling it myself.

Crank relearn isn't a big deal. I did it myslef with my whipple flare device. I believe that you can also do it with a SCT.
