I didn't like that moving and grinding the alternator thing! I also was a little disappointed with their final hp numbers. Anyone else?

The Roush isn't known for making HP, so I'm not surprised at the low output. It is the biggest waste of money as far as forced induction goes for S197s.

no kidding, that system has been out for a LONG time now

for 6K there are a lot of better options that will put much more power down and will be a lot more versitile

You are paying a lot for that 3 year Roush warranty. I like mine because it doesn't whine unless I'm WOT, the conservative tune will not blow up the engine, and I am covered by the warranty.

What I don't like, is that I can't put the 3.73 gears on that this car needs or add the smaller Roush s/c pulley (add'l 25 HP) without losing the warranty I paid for.

Ain't life a bitch.

Just get a damn Vortech, about $2000 cheaper and about the same to a little more Horsepower

I agree,all I could think of was all the little bits dropping into
the unprotected vents an the alternator ?
Never heard of masking tape ?
