This post reminds me, i was messing around yesterday and noticed that Yates finally added the 07 - 08 roush m90 full kit to their site for $4399, $100 more than the 10 kit but I know several of you guys were looking for this kit there at one point and it was no where to be found.

Did you ever go to the track or race that SS yet?

The last time I went, I was lined up against a Challenger SRT-8 and he red-lighted me!

Took off by a nose before my green GO light went off.. I ended up flubbing up my launch, spinning my wheels and lost traction! He had me by a car length the entire time.

I ended up running a 13.0@101 to his 13.1@108mph lulz

Ran a handful of mid-high 12s so it was a good day indeed

I am in the middle of a move to Illinois so I won't be going to the track because I'm running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. I haven't seen MR SS in a couple of weeks but I did get into it with a 335i who I crushed. It was a women driver but I know what she thought "here is a guy in a mustang I'll smoke him" boy was she surprised. When I shifted to 3rd at about 65 mph I just dusted her after that. I also got to a red light with an ISF Lexus which was a bit tougher but I still pulled on him hard when I hit that third gear.

With the 3.55's and this Roush tune these gears are extremely long. I shifted into 4th at about 95mph, I almost thought there was something wrong with my car.

The one thing I love about the 3.55's is the fact I can do 75mph at 2200rpm I kinda missed the feeling of driving and not having the engine sound like its "working hard", some people like it I'm just not one of them.

Hey, Congrats...
I'm awaiting my Vortech H.O. kit with after cooler as we speak. They tell me it should be here this week, and installed dyno’ed & tuned by Monday !!!!!

I kinda' went the same road you did with a C&L CAI, Borla exhaust, & 410's on a custom dyno-tune. It got me by for about 2yrs, but... now it's time to start makin' some big power! The kit I got can make 650 rwhp but I'm going with a safer tune and gonna' be putting down about 450-475 rwhp.

I know what your saying about the 410's at highway speeds. 3k @ 80mph is kinda’ kickin' but being i got about 4k in my system, I really don’t notice anything but other people looking at me as I go by LMAO.

Anyway, given you are running Borla's I was wondering if you still have a drone with the S/C at the lower rpm's. I was thinking about maybe doing some 373's because if I hit traffic with my 355's and slowed down below 70mph it was enough to run you out the car.

Ya there is still some drone but I'm one of the few that like it, I don't even listen to the radio most of the time when I drive, I like to hear the car work. I will say the borlas' are a bit louder with the S/C in.

LOL,

Yeah... Well I'm not sneakin' up on anyone as it is! I really may need to have to do something about my borla's maybe I sell my tunner, intake and exhaust together ta' some kid for cheep money and make his day. Hell when i was running that set up be fore the vortech I was putting 307 down at the rear with an auto. 40 rwh is not to bad out the gate.
