Congrats timmbo. The kit really looks good under the hood. Great idea painting the cam covers in advance. If you don't need the car for a dd, then you could strip off all the stuff that's gotta go. That'll make installation day go much faster.
Kirk, you may flog me now......"thank you may I have another"! Lol. Can't wait to drive it tonite.

Update.....
Lean condition seems to be resolved. Call that owner installer error for sure. Car is running good. But....today I got the blinking o/d light. If my memory serves me, that's an issue with the tune that showed up after hotrods cams came out. I will contact Jim jr and I have no doubt he will resolve it.
I gave my friend a ride today. Was only giving it half throttle or so and he described it like a coaster ride when that torque hits your gut.

^^^ You sure it's not some sort of island voo doo lol?
I got mine ordered late yesterday from Gary Yeoman Ford in Florida. Largest Roush dealer in the US. I paid way-way less then what Roush direct is selling them for and thats probably all I should say for right now LOL. Probably won't ship for another week or so because Roush is waiting on intercooler parts for the kit. I called Roush and verified this myself. Oh well, I'm not in a hurry anyway. I want this to be a cold weather project. Just wanted to get it ordered before they are all gone.
This blower is definitely gonna dress up the engine compartment! I'm gonna powdercoat the ugly valve covers (less than half the cost of chrome), have my painter friend do a little custom painting on some trim pieces under the hood. My goal is to put the car in a few car shows next year. I'm actually pretty excited about it all.

I'm sure if someone wanted to research my posts they'd see I used to care less about getting boosted. But that was thinking I had to spend 5500-6 grand +. When Roush offered this close out deal at nearly half the cost of what I thought I had to spend it was just a no brainer and a flat out steal to get 450+rwhp. I don't care if ya can't upgrade it. Any more power and your just falling into that bottomless pit of modding with forging engines, upgrading clutches, rear ends etc. F that mess LOL! You just won't recover on resale if ya sell the car. I lost my *** on resale modding my Harleys and swore I'd never fall "that deep" into that pit again.
IMO, I'm right where I wanna be.
