Bought a "roush" Next steps?
Ok, so recently I purchased what I was told was a Roush Mustang. I didn't get any paperwork with it. The dash is signed, and it has a Roush Supercharger on it.
My friend pointed out it looked different for being a roush and after doing some extra research we realized it was missing the usual body kit. Then we started looking for all of the badges and realized it doesn't have them.
I took it to a friend at a ford dealer and he explained that if a roush certified dealer had done the work then it wouldn't have all the placards because it doesn't done at the roush plant....but was still professionally installed.
It has the roush supercharger, intake manifold, and I believe suspension. I was going to take it back, but since I paid what the GT cost alone, I feel that getting a supercharger was still a good deal for the price.
So my question is, what do I do next to add HP? Do I need to rebuild engine internals? I want 500hp at the wheels. I heard the supercharger is capable of that, but I also heard Ford engines need new internals or I"ll blow it up.
Thanks,
Justin

If you have the chance to have Justin (VMP) tune your car, it's well worth it. He's one of the best when it comes to Roush tunes (outside of Roush that is).
If you want more out of the car, find Carmen on FNSweet.com and get set up with a smaller M90 pulley before you tune it again. The 500 mark is beyond what the stock bottom end will take. If the smaller blower pulley isn't enough kick in the pants, look into the TVS blower upgrade from Roush.
