More power!?

[doodguy]

I have the Roush Phase 1 supercharger installed, but want a lil more power; want to try to get to the 750 to 800hp range.

Should I wait for the Roush Phase 2 and or 3 to come out or is there a kit you guys recommend that is pretty safe I could purchase/install?

Any pointers to get me where I want to be? I want to make my car feel like a roller coaster when it takes off. I know wider/stickier tires will help, and that is the plan once it comes time to replace tires.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

+1! I'm in the same boat as you. I'm getting pretty impatient. I've thought about just going with a Lund tune, ID1000's and smaller pulley. Just not entirely committed due to losing my warranty:/ What I'm not sure on is whether the smaller pulleys from the older Roush Blowers will fit ours. If so that's probably the route I will be going. I'd like to be in the 700-750rwhp range. I'm looking for advice and info as well.........

Its addicting. I know the crazy part of it all is how smooth/well the car handles the 625hp. It certainly doesn't feel like 600hp+

I think with the Roush SC on there we only have warranty to 3200 miles from when SC was installed right? If so I guess warranty won't matter much to me either way.

Hmmm.... Not sure? I assumed it was covered like normal. I've got 5200 miles on mine right now so if it's up then that makes my decision much easier hahaa! As far as the power goes, I love it after 3rd gear but 1st and 2nd feels like it falls on its face at times due to the torque management/traction control bs! Enen when Advance Trac is OFF it feels like it's not giving all its capable of. I will look into the warranty thing....

If you put it in track mode, there's no traction control right? Just feed the throttle to try to find the sweet spot to minimize wheel spin

Yes that's correct. There's no traction control and if you hold your traction control toggle up for like 10-15 sec it turns off Advance Trac which helps a lot as well. It just still feels so "de-tuned" from Roush. I think there was another member on here that did a Lund Tune and picked up quite a bit more power. I believe he also has the ID1000's.

Yup I got the Lund tune with the id1000 and it made a huge difference! It was like night and day really. I'll be adding a smaller pulley and bap soon so I can hit around 650-700. I'm pretty happy with how it feels now compared to the roush tune. It was defiantly worth it in my opinion.

Awesome! I was hoping you would chime in! As far as the pulley goes.... Are you just going to use one from the older TVS? I would assume they are the same correct?

 

[CLDS550]

Ok never mind.... I see VMP makes some pulley options.

Yes the tvs pullies will work. I haven't ordered one yet but will be getting it through vmp tuning.
