I really want a procharger kit for my 2006 GT, it comes with 39 lb/hr injectors, air to air intercooler and 8,9,10 psi pulleys, i plan on using 8 psi because I like to stay on the safe side and use the 9 psi limit for 9:1 compression ratio engines, the 2006's are at 9.8:1, so anyways my question is, is there anything that i should do to make sure my engine runs as smoothly and saftley as possible? i am also thinking about some hydrolic roller cams. thank you.

I didn't realize the dealerships would/could do the Rousch install. I assume by having a dealership do it, you didn't void the warranty....? How much did it set you back$ ?
The Warranty is a 3/36 drivetrain warranty provided by Roush. Dealerships seem to have a wide range of installed pricing, but the kit itself is around $5600. I have heard dealer-installed pricing anywhere from $5600-$9000. The Ford dealership nearest me sells cars brand new with these units installed and usually has one or two on the lot at any given time. Check out http://www.fnsweet.com/forums/index.php for lots of threads on this topic. Several guys have done the install themselves, one being "Tooltime" who posts here sometimes.
The Saleen blower has been in for just under 2 weeks now, but I will go ahead and post these pics. Even though I stuck with the stock 4 lb Saleen pulley, this thing pulls like a freight train. Can't wait till I get some better rubber under the wheels so I can see what she'll really do.
I didn't buy a Saleen because I couldn't find an Automatic. I can't drive a stick. I was wondering if my auto will have any trouble with the added power or if they need beefed up.
Thanks,
WC

Not at all man. The auto's tend to make a little different power from a blower than a manual, but they can handle it just as well. You have an auto and want a supercharger?.......go for it. The only way you should worry about beefing up your engine is if you're looking to end up with close to or above 500rwhp. Stay in the low 400's with a solid tune and don't get too crazy with the boost, and you should have no problems with your stock bottom end and drivetrain.

proctoman...........i settled on a roush. great driveline warranty....low lbs prssure..clean installation. i called roush in michigan and had them explailn the warranty to me...no catches...go to roushperformance.com and check it out
believe me, check out roushperformance.com.....can't beat the warranty on the driveline. plus with the low boost pressure ( 5-6 lbs ) less wear and tear on the engine in the long term
alll i know is the engine can't take much over 8 lbs boost and / or 450 hp.........that's why the roush is so good. 5-6 lbs boost and 115 hp......check out roushperformance.com
Nice job... Who did the install for you, how/what was used to do the tune and did the kit come with a new airbox, or is that the stock one with the cover off?
What about MAF/throttle position calibration? Any issues there? My 281SC kind of likes to keep reving after you take you foot off the gas between gears... It takes a bit getting used to. My daily driver is a tuned twin-turbo Audi S4 and when you let off the pedal, the RPMs drop faster than the 4.6...
