look at VMP's roushchargers upgrades.
an AT
baseline roushcharged yields 346/323
with steeda CAI gets 368/337
with CAI and pulley gets 396/373

on MT
with pulley/CAI/tune gets 429/404

for further specific warranty issues you should talk to the dealership that will be doing the repairs. each dealership has their own warranty guidelines.

Whipple. No contest. Slap that warranty in the face and install the whipple H.O. kit. I said F the warranty when I installed mine and my engine still runs like a top.

I'm with wilkinda. I'm not voiding my 5 year / 60k warranty for the extra power and engine strain of a whipple.

I thought that the whipple still would maintain the warrenty from what Ive read and my Ford dealer also assured me it would as long as the Ford Tech installs and I only stay with the 400HP kit, I know that the whipple is running only 5 pounds of boost!!! Awesome power for only 5 pounds but the Roushcharger is 435 HP. But the Whipple can be upgraded once warrenty runs out more so than the roush charger! But can we even buy a Whipple yet? Ford racing doesn't have them for sale yet! I would Opt for the whipple espically if the warrenty can stay, and ive only been told the warrenty would stay!! So its up to you man do you want to upgrade after warrenty or would 435 please you with the life of the car? ***** in your court! Eithier way it will be alot better than stock!

According to my dealer who would do the install... The whipple is a 12month warranty, the Roush is 36 months

I am awaiting his response about what the TVS gets from Roush versus the standard SC

I'm waiting for all the details. I thought the TVS gave you the option of coming with tune or with-out for more aggressive tunes.

I thought the TVS was no warrenty at all but, I am pretty sure though wilkinda that the Whipple FRPP Supercharger is a 3/36k warrenty if installed by a ford tech because thats what my ford tech told me. If not None of these Ford dealers know what their talking about because guess what? It is illeagal for a dealership to void your warrenty because of a modifaction to your vehicle unless they can prove it has done the damage, incase it does do damage im still pretty sure Whipple 400hp kit will not void only the 480 HP kit will! I will do some research! Will let you guys know what I find!

Ok im not sure if I am reading this right, if you do not have the supercharger installed at the time when you take the delievery of the vehicle, you are no longer able to have a 3/36k warrenty on the supercharger only a 1 year or 12k miles. Now if your vehicle is over 36k miles you do not even get a 1 year warrenty at all! But if you are under 36k miles and have taken delivery you only get a 1 year warrenty. HMM Ford Techs what are they thinking well atleast the ones around here! But eithier way all those warrenty stipulations none of us can maintain our 36k warrenties so none of us that have taken delivery are eligable so I guess I'll say where is my Kenne Bell!!!!! So guys from what I have read none of us that have 2010s can get a 36k mile warrenty on our superchargers installed by ford tech or not its 1 year!
