I have been reading a lot of the previous posts about superchargers but I still have a few questions that I didn't get from the other posts. If they have been answered before I didn't find them but if they were I'm fine with links. Anyway, I am thinking about adding a supercharger to my '06 Stage 2 Roush. I really want to go with the Roushcharger setup because even though it has the lowest hp improvements compared to others, I feel it will be the safest route for me to go. Anyway here are some basic questions I have:
1) If I get the stock Roushcharger which will increase hp from 300 to 415, will I need to do anything to my car (engine wise) to make this completely safe for a daily driver? I really don't want my engine to blow and I care more about reliability and peace of mind than I do performance.
2) Depends on the answer to #1 but in the other posts I'v seen people talk about forged internals. I know basic stuff about engines so I'm sorry if this is a very dumb question but, what does this mean? People in other posts say to do this as soon as possible to make sure the s/c doesn't blow the motor. With the Roushcharger setup I plan on getting, would I need to do this, or since it is a safer, more of a daily driver setup would I be fine with my stock engine?
3) If I do get the s/c, I plan on doing it in a couple of months but in the time being I would like to add an offroad H-pipe or x-pipe. This is prob also a dumb question but would the roushcharger be compatible with that?
4) When I had my '01 GT I added a CAI and UD Pulleys. I was thinking of also adding these to my '06 Roush. However now that I am thinking of a s/c, does it make sense to add these parts? or does the adding of the s/c make these parts un-usable?
5) Final question. I have another car for a daily driver but I still love to drive my Roush as much as possible. I know adding a high powered supercharger reduces the life of your engine to a certain degree, but would the Roushcharger do this or do it as much since it is made to be a more reliable, safer setup? I have 600 miles on my car right now and I plan on keeping it and driving a lot and for many years. I def. want more power but my biggest concerns are driveability and reliability. I want to add the s/c but also have it on there for a long time. Is it possible and likely to add a low powered supercharger like the roushcharger and have your engine run fine for
70k-100k miles? If not what is the expected engine life with a s/c like the roushcharger.
Anyway sorry for such a long post but I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks
