never been a fan of of roush blowers... to me they seem like there just cheap quality.
I definitely agree with you on this one. If your going to spend a good amount of money on a blower, go with a KB or Saleen. You will see much better gains than with a Roush blower...

Buying a Blower i would Definately stay with your KB, or Procharger, Vortec,Paxton..... They yield the better gains and have Much Room for improvement. I have not heard anything goood about Saleen or Roush BLowers......
Your right! For your generation mustang, the Saleen blower didnt do much. For the S197s, the twin-screw Saleen is one of the best blowers!! They did their research on these new ones!

The Saleen Series IV (1.6L that came stock on 2003 - 2004 SCed Saleens) and V superchargers (2.3L that came on the 2002 - 2004 Extremes) are both twin-screw set ups. I'm not sure about the Series I and II set-ups (never produced a Series III).

You can buy the Series IV right now.....and Saleen has rumored a release of the Series V for aftermarket applications.

You can easily push 18 pounds of boost through a SeriesV and I've seen Extremes my same year that are pushing 600+ rwhp without doing anything to increase supercharger volume. I admittedly know less about the upper limits of the currently available Series IV.....stands to reason though that the Series IV volume may limit power at some point.

For 2005 - 2007 they went to the Series VI twin-screw set-up.

Good info Mills! I assume you have the 2.3L...how much power would you estimate you're putting down?

You are correct......the 2.3L is on my car.

Aftermy currentupgrades and tune......I wasright at this number I still haven't got a cold pull.....so 397 is probably conservative.

I can still go about 3/4 inch smaller on my supercharger pulley, upgrade the intercooler, heat exchanger and coolant reservoir tank, go larger TB, etc..... Good old #46 still has more potential

My baseline dyno was 355 rwhp.

Pardon all the off topic here.....back to the regularly program regarding the Roushsupercharger.
