s/c question
Hi guys,
I know this has probably been asked a zillion times, but here goes:
I am shopping for a s/c. My mind has been made up on the roush s/c because of warranty. But is this really a good choice? Also, I like the look of the super chargers like the roushes. i don't like the hair dryer look at all. Are there any s/c that sit on the intake like the roush does, and is a lot cheaper? I looked on google, i ran circles.. thanks for the help. If buy a roush s/c is a bad move, i'd like to know before i do it. I may do it in Dec instead of Feb is why i'm asking.

RE: s/c question
if keeping your warranty is a requirement AND
you want an intercooled system.....then
the roush and base saleen kit, are your options
-
if you decide you don't care about the warranty,
you can go with saleen stage 1+, kenne bell, whipple,
or steeda-magnuson

RE: s/c question
No offense....but you really need to do your homework here. Personal preference and finances play a big role into choosing, but there are so many different options out there and factors that one must consider.
I, however, would choose the Whipple. I only hear good things about them, very positive gains. They look awesome (especially the high polished ones). I have also heard Kenne Bell makes a damn good supercharger too.
Roush? Eh, no. Not for me.

+1 installed by an authorized shop/dealer

I believe that even with the Roush and/or Saleen kits, to retain the warranty it has to be installed by Ford............

RE: s/c question
The Roush is old school tech and less efficient than all the twin screws, they call it a hybrid roots system. Do you want to drive a hybrid
. If you can get a warrenty and that is a must for you; go with Whipple or the Saleen. You will not blow your motor with 8 psi and the stock tune with any of the twin screws (I have never heard of it anyways
).
I found a dealer that is "mod friendly" so I was not worried about the warrenty. When I did have a problem with my TBthey replaced under warrenty.

RE: s/c question
very nice! I must be google challenged, when i search for s/c i get the worst built websites ever, and 90% say call for pricing we are the cheapest, or some crap like that.... i'll keep at it.. in the mean time, don't be afraid to post good sites that offer s/c's for mustangs.
