Its a lot of money for a look that is only unique to Roush...just my opinion though.

I'm happy with the s/c, pulley upgrade and stock pipes. I kept the stock pipes because I like to hear the s/c while driving and I don't like waking up the neighbors in the morning. I only wish they would offer tune that is compatible with a cold air intake. I want to free up a few more ponies and hear that s/c whistle a little louder at WOT.

Once the warranty is up, I will probably add a Steeda CAI and get a custom tune since the Roush tune is pretty conservative.

Roushcharger is not all that at all. A 427R with a small pulley, stands no chance against my GT. Now the exhaust, it awesome. I've received numerous, and I mean numerous compliments on how my car sounds. I am getting an off-road mid-pipe, that will really open it up.

Roush claims that the Roushcharger give you 145 horses and 98 foot pounds. So, that would bump your car to 445. And that is with out exhaust or computer upgrades. So, you can imagine it wouldn't be hard to get 500 out of the car with a couple other mods.

The roush exhaust sounds great. I raced a guy at the track with a stage 1 roush plus the roush supercharger. I'm guessing he was running the warranty tune (4 psi I think?), he was consistently trapping 103 mph, maybe he just royally sucked as a driver. To put that in a bit of perspective, the same day, I was consistently trapping 107 mph with justCAI and tune. That's been my only direct experience with a roush supercharger.

Man, you guys are hard on the Roush Chargers. I picked the Roush Charger for my GT/CS,because it came with the warranty so was a no brainier for me. The mechanic that installed the charger commented about how impressed he was of the quality.
I don’t have dynos to disagree with any of you about the performance, but if the other chargers pull harder then this Roush, OMG!

With the stock 4psi pulley they make about 330-350 rwhp depending on the dyno and trans.
Generally speaking 400 rwhp (smaller pulley) generally maxes out the blower.
For the price I think the Saleen TwinScrew is a better buy.
