He rep was very optimistic it would be sooner. He will call me, when its out so I can bring my car for the install. When I get the call, I will keep u posted. 👍
What's the package + install cost, roughly? I see Roush's website lists it at $7999, but what's install cost? 750hp is quite a bump from stock!

My local dealer said $I600 to install.

GOT IT. So I just need to be able to plug into the OBD ll Port and upload the tune from Vortech/procharger/whipple which is CARB compliant but then no tampering after that, the CARB tune is the CARB tune unless there is a future update.

EDIT: After some more research, I see that some of these include the programmer as well. I don't know why it was so hard to find these on the main sights but oh well.
If going for specialized items like SC ditch the AM markups and look into Team Beefcake Racing. You can talk to Terry on here who is the owner to get you all straightened out. Team Lethal is another option on the forum that will also offer better deals than places like AM.

Oh wow, good for you bro!!! I'm on my way out as well. NYC sadly has become a shithole w 2 clowns running city and state (DeBlasio and Cuomo). I'm born and raised here, 51 years, I've had enough. I cant wait for the day, I'm finally gone. Never looking back.

I was dead set on adding a ROUSH supercharger to my 2019 GT then started thinking Whipple, but after reading many post I am concerned about reliability and losing the strut tower brace. Is there anyone here that had been running a super charger on a 2018 or 2019 for a good amount of miles. Also, have you noticed any handling differences after removing the strut tower brace? What have you found is a good street tire size and brand to harness the power? All input welcome.
You shouldn't notice a terrible difference when removing the strut tower brace. As for tires you can't go wrong with some Mickey Thompson Street S/S , Street Rs, or Nitto 555RIIs.

I think a Vortech or Procharger with a CARB compliant 91 tune might be the best direction for my daily driver. lower IAT's, no cutting or welding... seems decently reliable. Anyone know if I am going to have issues with a 91 tune?

Almost no one read the OP question.

OP, if you are not doing HPDEs or Road Racing the car on turns you will not notice the difference of not having a strut tower brace. AND if you are, I'm not sure I would get a PD blower.

100%
Although, in defence of the masses, he never stated the reason for wanting to retain the brace in his original question. Some just like it cos it looks cool, or, they genuinely believe the handling will significantly changes without it on a road going vehicle.
