Roushcharger question

[Jarrod@latemodelresto]

About the only real negative I can think of is the $$$$. It's a pretty stout engine. It should be able to handle anything you would throw at it.

Your running 10.80's, how is yours holding up? I haven't head from you in forever, so i would think that everything is going ok with the car.

I'm and it is the same. I drive it all the time, but not hard. I'm glad I went with a PD blower, any time I feel a need for power I just roll into the throttle and it will just push me back. Keeps me from running it all out, all of the time. Put a smaller pulley on for my B-day, 82 down to 79mm, .

Plenty of people have been running the aluminator with no problems, but I would upgrade the oil pump gears def. The down side is cause of the comp you will have to run some more boost than you would with the boss short to see the same power. I have been going back n forth between an aluminator or boss short when I upgrade.

Let me ask some opinions here. If I decide to cut my loses, And Roush puts in a new short block. How much would be a reasonable selling price with the supercharger and all. 6 speed 1800 miles leathered out.

KevinP sold his, base auto with TVS, was listed for 25/26K dont know the selling price.

I'm going to guess that when you get it running, you'll keep it for a while.

Lol maybe. This shit is stressing me out bad. Just ready to get the '12 Boss on the lot or do a dealer trade for a '13 Gt

The guy that owns the shop that did my install was correct when he said "You'll be ruined, you'll never be happy with another car that doesnt have a blower."

Oh man was he right. My wife has an identically equiped GT to mine minus the blower. Just driving it around it feels good, but when I want some power it feels like her car is broken. I was merging onto the highway and checked traffic and thought "I got this" forgetting what car I was in. It was a lot closer than I planned on, and I'm thinking "her car neds a blower"

I had the same thoughts, but now that it's running again no way! Love the car and the power is pretty damn cool to have all the time. Good luck and you'll get it back going! If you do sell it and go with a Boss keep the blower and put the other one back to stock. Then put the blower on the Boss!

Damn man that sucks. Hopefully roush stands behind their product and tune

So how much boost as someone put in there stock 5.0?

 

[Mystickeith50]

There have been guys running 14-16, but I think they were the guys just trying to push the limits early on.

My hero on stock internals! I think he ended up at 738rwhp on stock block/internals.

I've been running 12PSI with my whipple pushing 604RWHP and I'm not having any problems at all (knock on wood). My biggest issue now is brakes and I might need a little more stiffness. Just got back today from the dragon and I had some pretty bad brake fade plus I was moving all around in the leather seats.

 

[garner]

Brad is running around 10 psi on his making about 640 rwhp but he's at the limits of 93

 

[jojobee]

So any update from Roush...I'm ordering my blower today and would really like to see them honor their warranty before I close the deal.

Good luck and keep fighting

 

[SS KILLR]

I should know today, At first they tried to say that I changed the pulley. I pointed out that you could clearly see there seal on it still. Hopefully they will not tell me to get fucked. I will either be doing alot of future busniess with them or NONE. That includes out whole dealership.

 

[jojobee]

So did you get any good news from Roush?
I bought mine from a Ford dealer and will just build a short block if it blows and they find excuses not to pay
