A few weeks ago it was so nice I did take it out for a boot. Maybe I will be able to try out the s/c when done if weather permitting
 
Keep us posted ....

Am thinking about getting one next year. Looking at the Saleen kit as well.
Now that you shelled out the dough, give us your thoughts once you have
driven that beast for a week.
 
here is a few pics of intake, intercooler, intercooler cover. I took pic of intake from top and bottom. I showing the intake, then with the intercooler in place, the the intercooler cover. I am preetty impressed so far on the quality of the parts.

Hi,

Fellow Canuck here.. why did you go with Roush as opposed to a Vortech? Was the lower boost pressure of the roots design the selling point?

Cheers![/QUOTE
I felt the enginneering from roush was better. The other charger like vortech and procharger are made more for serious drag racers etc the same s/c will fit many different cars. The roush is for only a 05 roush with a standard trans that's it nothing else..I just started some of the work tonite and the quality of parts are very good and fit just like they were factory. The other s/c are a lot less but I feel with the support from roush with pcm flashing etc. I think I went the right way. I saw some procharger installed and it looked like they were put together with all different kind of pieces thrown together to make it fit. The fellow had lots of power" he claimed 520"" er I didn't think so. But he was also having some code lights on and various litle problem. Seems he was alwys going to the shop. The fellows with older roush s/c are very happy with theirs with little problems.
 
Thinking of doing what you've done..

Hi again,

After a lot of research I am leaning towards either a twin screw or roots type of SC for my 05 GT. With the Roush where did you buy it for 7100 Can? (I live in Ottawa) As well given that roots type blowers generate lots of heat even at low psi did you consider an intercooler?

Cheers and Merry Christmas

If you click on the little pictures above they will magically appear larger. If you look at these larger pictures you will see this thing that looks like a radiator. This is called an intercooler.:bang:

Sorry I thought I was talking to my friends' 2 1/2 year old son.
Oh I forgot the 2 year old could tell the difference between an Sn95 and an S197 since last spring.
 
Nice talk at Christmas thump-rrr..

Did somebody pee in your cornflakes this morning? I made an honest mistake so sue me! Hopefully your ego is re-inflated now..

Despite your post Merry Christmas to you and yours!
 
No worries thump_rrr!

I have been spending to much time researching and not enough time thinking!

So far on the SC front I've drawn the following conclusions;

1) If I want off the line performance I go with either a roots or twin screw piece of kit.

2) On a stock block/internals I want to keep power to 400-420 rwhp.

3) Of the the two types of SC listed above my best bet is Roush or Saleen.

Any suggestions, comments or fresh ideas are welcome!

Cheers!
