IMO it would be hard to do better than brenspeed. They tuned my car on the first try to perfection. Cams, longtubes, cai, m90 supercharger and it runs perfectly. The previous tuner had me turning on cels every few weeks. Buying your system through them is smart. The Roush setup on the new 5.0 motor is simply amazing. With a tune, and DRs your car will run in the 10's........simply incredible. Congrats.

If you are talking about the Coyote motor... if you go much over 600+rwhp, you are a ticking timebomb. You need to be careful with it. If you think 700rwhp is going to last long on a stock bottom end..... well... good luck.
Either way, you will love the extra power.. just dont go crazy with it with stock internals. Also, if you do blow the motor up, and think putting the car back to stock and warranty claiming it... just a note, Ford can tell if a tune has been on the car or not.
also if you are going with the Roush kit, you will have to send your ECU to them to be tuned. Not sure of the warranty Roush offers with their setup though.

I know how to void a warranty.
There are many other vendors who tune the Roush kits.
Thanks for your help.

Well, good luck with it. I'm sure you will love it. member in our club has a Roush kit on his 5.0.. he loves it. I believe he made 616rwhp with it. Only drawback to not letting Roush do the calibration is you don't get the Roush warranty.

Yeah - I think that Roush or a Roush certified shop has to do the complete installation in order for the warranty.

From what I've read it does have to be installed by ford or roush for the warranty to stay. but the kit has a 1 year warranty outside of that I believe.
What kit did you go with? I am leaving towards the 625hp kit. I have the $$$ just not 100% yet if I need all that extra power ha. I plan to go with VMP tunings since it comes with a JLT CAI & their intercooler with twin fans for free. I already have an SCT tuner and brenspeed does offer -$210 for that. I emailed VMP asking if they offer the same discount. Have you gotten a quote for the install yet? A shop here in northern VA wants $1,700! Makes me want to do it myself that's a bit crazy.

However, I am starting think (before they ship today) I may also go with the 625 kit and use the balance for gauges.
I am not certain I need my car to be a donor for the 710 kit and/or that much power for my hobby car.
I does sound enticing but am a bit leery of the extended integrity of the drivetrain.
I do believe simple add-ons and tuning can be further done to gain more in the future.
I am going to install the kit myself.
