Picked up my boosted Stang yesterday...
Picked up my ride from the Ford Dealer yesterday that installed my Roush M90 and some other suspension stuff. I am very pleased with this kit. It may be because this is the first FI car I have ever driven but I love it. I had my gears swaped back from 4.10 to 3.55 to let the SC work and I'm glad I did. Even with the 3.55's when I hit 2700-3000 RPM the car starts to pull pretty good, much better than it did with my Steeda CAI, 4.10's, and 93 tune.
I am very surprised at how factory the car drives if you don't get above 2700RPM, the boost is only there if I want it so for any of you on the edge of getting FI go for it. At 6psi I know the car will hold up for a long time. That is the Roush tune and I may go have it dyno tuned for more boost but even at 6psi it's good power thats safe and still under warranty.
I went from a 15mph roll and smashed it, I quickly got to 100mph with a good piece of 4th gear left and the car had no sign of letting up, I am sure it will bury the speedometer. 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. I was gonna go back country and see what I really got but it rained today.

excellent! congrats on getting boosted and i'm sure this
system will last a very long time. i don't let a light rain
stop me anymore, but you do have to show a lot of restraint
in order to keep her going in the desired direction.
