should I sell my roush for a paxton 2200
OK, I have a roush m90 on my 2006gt.
My brother has offered to sell me his paxyon 2200. ( almost complete )
I would have to sell the roush to buy it .
what do you think?

I added the roush with the 8 psi pulley and still only made 382 hp on a mustang dyno. ( I see that your
V6 has as much torque as my 4.6l ) By the way have you eve run yours on the track?
I need to sell my 95 mustang ( for finacial reasons ) But cant bring myself to let it go until the 06 is as fast ( or at least as musch fun to drive )

That brings me to the durability Question. Will the Paxton hold up?
I know roush has a reputation for lasting a long time.

I'm in NC as well and I don't plan on removing the Paxton... The lowest average temperature in the winter is 10-12 degrees, but the normal lows are around 30 degrees which is well within the engineering specs of the blower. Just let it warm up before you get going and you'll likely be fine (unless you're in the mountains where it could get colder). But basically in the extreme colds the oil used in the SL blowers gets too viscous which could cause gear damage.
As far as durability, the blower I have has about 35,000-40,000 miles on it I believe. Never had any issues. Nor have I ever heard of a Paxton blower taking a dump (engines with a Paxton is another matter -- keep the tune safe and you'll likely be fine though).

I have not been happy with the power of my 06 since I bought it in June.
I added the roush with the 8 psi pulley and still only made 382 hp on a mustang dyno. ( I see that your
V6 has as much torque as my 4.6l ) By the way have you eve run yours on the track?

I thought so also, But I talked to the guys at Fast lane Performance In Raleigh NC ( Mustangs are all they do) and he seemed to think I was near what they usually see on their dyno for my setup. He told me I needed 10 to 12 psi to get the power I desire. Since this Roush is already pegged at 8psi, It is what it is.
