Here it is installed drove it around town stop and go and traiffic lights 84 degrees out and is keeping IAT temps below 100 so ithe pcm is not pulling timiming. Fans run all the time unil engine shuts down. When you start moving the temps drop rapidly

I'm hoping the same! But I didn't get a call from the dealership Friday like I was expecting. Gonna call Monday. I drove my buddy's brand new Z06 with the Z7 package. No lag, no hesitation. Nothing but brutal power from a standing start. Its automatic but mine isn't even close.

Calvin from Roush called me Friday and I pulled the Pcm out and shipped it to Roush they will have it Monday. I don't trust the dealership to flash it . I would call Roush Monday for sure they have the new Calibration I hope it works like they say. As for power you might want the phase 2 for the track I heard it is brutal power all the time and the tune roush does is more aggressive on that one

Thanks. I called the dealership today since they didn't call Friday or today...frustrating. Roush was actually in contact with them after I called a few weeks ago. If they can't get it right this time, I'm going to send my ECM out as well. Weather changing here and only about another month of driving for me anyway. Btw...triple pass looks awesome! And yeah, disappointed to see how wimpy the Roush exchanger actually is. Cheap asses. I asked that exact question prior to buying mine and was told Roush Engineering designed it with heat build up in mind. Yeah, for 5 minutes for hard driving maybe. lol

I spoke to roush today Chris there he got my pcm today and flashed it and said I will have it tomorrow ups overnight. I will let you know how she drives. Yeah the stock roush heat exchanger is pretty poor indeed. The vmp sure cools it down faster after hard runs. I am thinking about a grill delete for 100 percent air but I am on the fence

Just throwing my 2 cents in here. I installed the TVS on my 05. Car ran well afterward, but seemed lacking for the coin I spent. I gave Justin a ring down at VMP. He had me data log the car. Then he suggested a pulley swap and tune. Took us a few tune revisions, all done via email, but we got it dialed in.
No question, it made a night and day difference. Was like adding another 100 horse to the car even after the supercharger.
Hard for me to get to a track out here, but in a crudely measured quarter I'm getting between 125 and 130 mph (hard for me to time and my wife won't let me do it with her in the car).

Lol. Wives do have a way of controlling us somehow. But every little bit of information helps. Thx for the post. Not feeling it's worth the money so far but I there are times when I know the power is there. Just have to get in dialed in.
