Take a look at that VMP kit, for the price and the quality of parts that come in that package you can't beat it. We're direct with VMP if you have any questions just let us know!

I would love the torque from a roots style supercharger. But I love the up top pull from a centri so as I mainly race and set the car up for the track, I would rather the highend power. If I was gonna road course alot, at roots style/twin screw would be the better option. It is all in what your looking to get outta the blower.

- Will the Roush fit with the FRPP strut tower brace? The car is in storage so I can't look at it to see


No, the strut tower brace will not fit.

- I've seen that roots type supercharger can run hot, or hotter than twin screw. Is this a big issue? Will I need to look at heat extracting at some point? Is it truly just bolt on and go, or are there other things I need to upgrade?

Yes they run hot. My 2013 GT has a roush supercharger on it and I wouldn't say it gets "too" hot. Getting a ram air hood at some point MIGHT be an option, or possibly upgrading your fan system.

- How much extra maintenance does the supercharger need? I see a lot of items that just say to watch the belt and replace the oil at the suggested interval, is this it?

Maintenance is important but easily done on a Roush car. Just follow the factory recommendations.

- I've also read that the 5.0 can handle that much power, but perhaps the clutch doesn't. Can someone elaborate? I haven't been able to find any details about this

VMP is my tuner. They are by far the best out there. They consistently run 600-650rwhp on a stock coyote. These guys know their stuff.
