first the roush has to be installed by an authorized installer to get the warranty, i think the saleen looks much more nice, very clean.

HEH TOOLTIME, WAS ROUSH HAVING A PROBLEM REFLASHING THE COMPUTERS? I'VE READ A FEW POST OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS. ALSO, MY BUDDY HAS THE ROUSH BLOWER AND HAD IT INSTALLED BY THE DEALER AND SHE HAS BEEN BACK TWICE FOR COMPUTER PROBLEMS. I WAS ALSO THINKING ABOUT GETTING THE ROUSH BLOWER, BUT THESE PROBLEMS HAVE WORRIED ME.

I sent it to them once during the install and it runs perfect. I have not had any problem at all with it. I know of few others that have em and have had no problems. I did the install myself so I was quite fussy with the work. There is actually only 1 thing I can think of that could have gone wrong during a install and that is with moving the temperature sensor wires from the maf connector to the new intake manifold temperature sensor. The only problem is the smile you get when you hear the whine from the s/c when under loadahh music to the ears. I may never ever turn on the radio again. lol

Michaelpqlemon, I have a Saleen. The install was done by my Ford mechanic in less than one day. The instructions are a hard copy and I will not part with them. If you like the Saleen, try www.Speedworx.com, I think he may have one left at the 05 prices. I love the way mine looks and the torque is awsome. Roush, Saleen and Kenne Bell are great superchargers. If you want good customer service go with Kenne Bell! My car is in paint but I will post pics and dyno when I get it back.

I am also really thinking about getting a Supercharger.... When reading this... I was under the impression that the Roush (as stated in the first post of this thread) did not void the warranty... This is the ONLY reason holding me back from getting one since i paid extra for an extended warranty and since i just got the car about 10 days ago, i would rather not screw it up. So if i get a Roush and have it installed by a Roush person, does that still keep my warranty? Did I read that correctly?

Call Roush directly, they should be able to point you to someone if no one gives an answer.
