Love my new Roush charger

I just picked up my new '06 GT with a Roush supercharger. All I can say is this is a fast car. I had every intention of breaking the car in before I put the throttle down but at 120 total miles I just couldn't resist. I nailed it second and it felt like the front end was going to lift off the ground. I hit 60 in nothing flat. My wifes eyes got very big when she say how fast this thing is.

Way to go Roush!

So did you have the dealer put the SC'er in as soon as you bought it I assume? How much did they charge you on labor? Glad you like it so much. I'd be dangerous with a SC'er.

Yeah, I bought the car at a Roush authorized dealer in Houston. They put the charger on before I took delivery of the car. It was $5200.00 for the parts and $1200.00 for the labor. I had gotten another quote from another dealer in Dallas. They wanted $6900 for the charger and $800 for the labor. I'm not sure where they got their parts number from. The Roush guidlines are 8-10 hours to install. At $90-100 per hour it's about a grand or so.

Hey Tooltime, I've been following your install since early this year. Have you put many miles on it yet? Any problems or querks? The reason I ask is that mine sometimes has a bit of a jolt during moderate acceleration. Nothing major, I've never had a supercharged car. I though it might just be excess pressure being released.

GRETG909 - Did they dyno it for you? If so, how did it do? I had mine done at ford dealership in Conroe with 600 miles on the car. Once the engine breaks in, you are going to love it even more. Congrats!!!!!
