Yes, I currently have a roushcharger on my 06 convertible GT. I bought the car new with it installed from the dealer. In hindsite, I wish I would have purchaded a Kene Bell for its power capability but hind site is always 20/20. Anyway, I am currently at 415rwhp right now and with what I am doing sould get me close to the 450 mark. The car is a blast to drive and pretty fast as is now.No complaints other than the limited power potential it has.I am probally going to add75 shot ofgiggle gas later which should take care of any disbeleivers of the rootsM90 capability

Whats done to the car? I always thought the roush only put out 415 to the crank, thats why I never went that route. Have you actually had it dyno'd?

Yes, it has seen a dyno twice. First I added a complete exhaust system with cat delete and magnaflow mufflers and X pipe. Then it went toSteeda were they put on a cold air kit and tweaked the tune to turn out 380 at the wheels. Next, was granettelii coils and a Blow By Racing 2.50 supercharger pulley. They tweaked out the 415 RWHP. Tomorrow I am taking it back to Blow By and they are installing a Kene Bell boost-a-pump with a 10% over crank pulley and possibly larger injectors. Which should be good for the 450 marked I hope.

You'll have to let us know the new numbers and post the dyno sheet

I just saved myself all those little upgrades and went with the Whipple H.O. System. I have not had it on a dyno yetbut I am sureit is well above theRoush number.

Whipple is the best out the box setup..
With the Kenne Bell boost-a-pump of course. The roush setup is inefficiant and too conservative, you probably won't have 450 whp when it's said and done. Are you intercooled? bty

Yes it is intercooled. I also just put at Steeda new110% larger heat exchanger last month. It made a big difference on keeping the charge cooler and keeping the power consistant.I am in Florida the it has been a blistering hot summer. Not good for forced induction cars at all.I won't be crushed if I dont see 450 exactly butI cant imageing not picking up at least 30 more to the wheel

Thse numbers for both carsdo seem low. Was it dyno'ed on a Dyno Jet or a Mustang dyno? I am sure the air is much thinner at 3000 ft but I would think the tuner who was dyno tuning would havemade a adjustment for that in the air/fuel mix. We do not have thin air in Florida just the opposite heavy thick humid hot air. If you do a X pipe and cold air kit it would really help open up power potential in your Roush. That is how I got 380 RWHPbefore the new supercharger pulley
