Default Kenne Bell or Roush Stage 3 S/C???

So I can get the whole Intercooler Kenne Bell SC setup for my car around 5,000 not installed. I can also get a Intercooled Roush Stage 3 SC installed for 5,000 with my computer reflashed. Is the Kenne Bell worth gettin even thoguh I would still have to pay for installment and my computer reflashed?

The KB is the superior unit IMO....question, have you considered installing it yourself? Its not difficult at all

It did cross my mind but all the plumbing would be a pain. And I am not sure where I would get my computer reflashed with the Kenne Bell. Ford will reflash the computer with the Roush SC for nothing. That is my main consirne....the computer gettin reflashed. I have a Diablo Sport Programmer...would that do it??

no matter what you get, a roush or a KB you need to go to a dyno. I wouldnt trust ford to tune anything, the tune they have is prob for a car that is otherwise stock other than the SC.....you rly need to get a dyno tune to get the most out of your Supercharger...there are companies that will do a mail order tune, anything is better than anythign a ford dealership will do.....trust me a KB isnt all that hard to do as long as you have the basic skills to turn a wrench

how much boost do you plan to run? at 10 psi you will eat him for lunch....although your biggest enemy is going to be traction with 4.10 gears..my friends car has 3.73's and he lights up 315 BFG drag radials

nothing wrong with a roush blower, so long as its the series IV, its probly better than the 1.7 in some ways - but i wouldnt buy either [8D]
