NEED HELP ON MY ROUSH!!!!!

[11sec.]

Well Ive got a 2006 Roush with a 5speed and a three valve. I want to get the most HP and TQ out of it but not spending a **** ton. I was thinking a 100 shot (WET), Gears (3.73), and Cams but Im not sure Please help Im wanting to do this at tax time..........

Nitrous will always give you the most bang for the buck. Just remember....that bottle empties out quickly if you're always on it.

What's your budget like?

+ most guys do 4.10s instead of the 3.73s. I'm assuming that the Rouches come with the 3.55s in which the jump to the .73 would be little @ most. Now forced induction is another story...............

What's a Rouches?

 

[99GTtony]

Roush (not Rouches) doesn't change the rear gear, whatever is stock is the way it stays.

Yeah but my buddy has 4.10's and he is shiftting into 5th at the end of the Quarter........ He also has a 5speed

Im not sure??

5th in the 1/4 mile i dont believe it...


i have 4:10's i hit 4th in the 1/4 mile.

i have 4:10's i hit 4th in the 1/4 mile.

Yeah No S@%# IDK if having 18's make a difference but yeah he if shifting into 5th right at the end....

Your buddy has either trippled the power output of his car, or you're mistaken on the gear change. Shifting into 5th gear with 4.10's as he crosses the traps (at say 5,800RPM) would have him up into the 160mph range at the line.

...not gonna happen.

4th would put him around 103-105mph at that RPM.....much more believable.

Giving a budget you are looking at would let everyone give better suggestions. Some people's definitions of a lot of money vary quite a bit.

Yeah all he has is 4.10 gears, k&n cold air, short throw, Lowered 2 inches, aftermarket H-pype with flow masters. I Dont think that would make a difference.... but he is shifting into 5th and the end inless r 1/4 on the street that we have maked out is off but IDK how many times we have measured it

 

[Towelly]

Then he is either short shifting or he has a lot lower gear than he is letting on. 4.10's at 70mph on the highway equals about 3k RPM depending on your tire and wheel size.

No he always shifts 5500 and the has like a 35 series tire with 18's so they r kind of a little side wall and at 70mph he is taching 2500-2700 RPM's

Ok well the probably around 3-5k to spend

 

[ct07gt]

If you have 3-5k to spend, you can get a centrifugal supercharger in that range from high 3's for a non intercooled to high 4's for an intercooled one. I don't know if you plan on installing it yourself, which could save you quite a bit. They don't affect mileage that much during regular highway driving. Vortech, Paxton, and Procharger are the most common. If you want a roots blower, the Magnacharger falls in your range, I got my Roushcharger for just over 5k. Gears are still a good option to include. Not sure if any of the turbo systems are under 5, probably are some.

 

[Gearbanger 101]

Oooo.....if you're willing to go a hair over $5K, i'd go with one of the Positive Displacement blowers (Roush, Magnacharger, Kenne Bell, Whipple) and leave the rest as it is. The Centrifugals are nice and area little less expensive, but you're going to have to swap gears to really realize the benefit, which is going to bring you back up to Positive Displacement price ranges anyway.

I’m a big believer in a PD blower for a heavier car.....just check out my ride.

 

[longalan2]

i'd go with kenne bell. i love the way that sounds winding out. not too mention, from what i have seen on the street, they are shutting down most of the compitition.
