Not a very impressive video I know. But at least gives an idea of how the car pulls.
Damn! That's impressive.

CPTCO,

How's the supercharger now that you've had it on for a few months (or has the car been parked since)? I'm getting close to ordering mine - just waiting for some warmer weather since the garage is pretty cold to work in now. I hear that now (since the first of the year) Roush wants an extra $100 if you send in your PCM for a tune. I guess I waited too long. Did you ever find the root cause of your issues? Which plugs did you end up leaving in?

I'm loving my car right now. Just did a pulley swap down to 3 inch and a VMP tune. Been datalogging the car and Justin at VMP assures me that we are safe but probably at the limit. I am running a stock heat range plug. Roush says it's good, I spoke with another guy here in CO that had similar problems and the same fix.
Bottom line it, the car is crazy fast. Tire smoking, ground pounding fast.

Nice! I'm glad it all worked out. So the plug thing was just altitude related? Have you had it on a dyno at all? Are you still running the stock fuel pump? I'll bet it was crazy fast before the pulley swap and VMP tune!

Yep, altitude related I guess. Haven't had a change to dyno it yet. Still running stock fuel pump. It was fast before the pulley and tune, it's ridiculous now.
