Don't know, but I suggest a Roush installed by an "Roush authorized dealer" will be from $8K to $8.5K. Look at this installation of the 2016 Roush Supercharger & you will see why. Roush says 10 hours of labor, but my guy charges 14 hours of labor because of all the details & machining of the front of the engine! I think it would take me a week! There's enough to be done that I wouldn't want the mechanic to be rushed! If a mechanic did nothing but these installations at Roush it might be done in 10 hours! As I've said before, I think you'll get $8K more for the car "if clean" say 5 to 8 years done the road! It will be looked at as a "Poor Man's GT 500"! I'm sure that irritates GT 500 owners... sorry... but the guy who bought my '08 loved the GT 500 performance, but was happy with the standard Ford GT styling! That's were I am! Hope this helps!

This '08 GT would have been a $16 to 17K Mustang completely stock & it sold for $25K. I think a Roush Supercharger is an investment where you get most of the investment back when selling!
