Default Anybody have this? tvs+short block

Just wanted to get some peoples thoughts if they have gone this route and anybody elses thoughts who is thinking about this. It seems like a pretty good deal to me especially with the warranty but im sure it would be voided if you bumped it up to 700rwhp?

chime in everybody thx.

$12K for 510 crank? there are much cheaper and, IMO, better alternatives to get that kind of power.

obviously you havent done much homework on the new TVS blower. That is the conservative stock tune it comes with it puts down 510 to the crank...easily bump it up to over 700rwhp

12k is over prived for everything mentioned in there? you got to be kidding me with a 3 yr warranty.

show me a better deal that includes everything this kit does with warranty.

Thanks wonderfull I had read a few diff threads on other forums regarding the tvs and it was pretty impressive. I want to know if anybody has gone with the blcok also.

Like I said before I think its a good deal since it includes alot of ****, ya u may be able to piece together a cheaper set up but after shipping from diff places Im sure it would be pretty dam close and you still dont get that warranty.

what about the TVS blower kit and a FRPP aluminator. i think both together should come out to a little over 10g's. but like you said, no warranty. i wonder if you could order it from the dealership. we have a deal with this local dealership and our mustang club for FRPP we get a 10% discount and no shipping cost. i was thinking about the aluminator myself. but that Roush kit does look nice.

I seen this on the Roush Performace Store last nite.. I just remembered i had a Mustang mag with a right up on it, anyaway.. For everything one is getting, i would think its actually a great deal.. Like Tombstang stated, after hunting, shipping and handling, and waiting for this part to come in, then more time on another, this would be a way to go.. With Roush recalibrating the PCM, thats a plus.. Warranty is another plus.. Till i get a chance to drop more cash into the car, i'm not gonna rule this option out at all.. If anyone does get this, i'd like to see a monster write up on it.. Pros and cons.. My next question would be, if this new RoushCharger does do great or even put up solid numbers for sales, will anyone else do it too??

if i were you i would definately figure out what type of pistons ect are using inside the engine, make sure they are skimping out to save a few bucks, i realise its forged, but even some forged rotating assembilies only support 650rwhp.. so just make sure.
