Supercharger help needed

[Frankie Lap]

Ok, I have a 2006 GT that is stock except for the exhaust. I'm not sure what exhaust it has, but it was changed by the first owner. So now I don't know one S/C from the next. I looked at the Roush M90 because Roush and Ford work together. Make sense...I don't know. I keep reading that the stock motor is good up to 425 horse power, the M90 is 435, close enough I guess. If I were to put in the S/C, what other parts of the car would have to be changed to support the horsepower? And is the Roush a good S/C or is there a more inexpensive one that's just as good or better? Thanks FYI......I know how to drive and pump gas.....that's it.

One more thing.....I'm looking for the power upgrade for street use not for the track.

The m90 is a great blower for anyone not wanting to have to worry about upgrading the block. The m90 is what comes stock on the roush stage 3. Install is easy and can be done in an less than a day.

For the price, you will not get a better deal for a roots blower. It comes with everything and no need for a dyno tune.
If you are going to go this route, do not buy an intake, it will not be used. Underdrive pullies also can not be used.

Man knows his info!

The Rouscharger you don't need to do anything to your block just put it on and you are good to go. IIRC you need a new tune for it, but I think Roush re-flashes your computer if you send it to them (I'm sure Gregg will correct me) If not VMP does a lot of work with the Rouscharger and come highly recommended by a lot of people. A wideband gauge as well as Oil pressure, Fuel Pressure, and Boost Gauge to monitor the activity of the S/C and make sure everything stays safe.

I had the choice , for my 2010 GT . FORD RACING WHIPPLE INTERCOOLED.My recommendation. Ford Racing Parts: Mustang Power Packs, Crate Engines, Motors ... MY WHIPPLE IS NON INTERCOOLED 5300$ PURCHASED HERE .

 

[Roush23]

Roushcharged!!!!

 

[ROUSH 4]

Roushcharged!!!!

Nice but , WHIPPLE............ THE ROUSHCHARGER ABOUT 5000 $

Mustang Supercharger (2005-2006) whipple costs a little more.

 

[Roush23]

Nice but , WHIPPLE............

Just because i've always been a big fan of the Roush.

 

[Wicked One]

He is not looking to go balls out!! so an m90 is fine. If that were the case, I would recommend a kenne bell or whipple, the only twin screws out there.

I doubt he wants to spend 6-8k on a blower, actually, I am sure he doesnt

another way to go is a centri. A vortec kit can be had for about the same as a roush and can be upgraded later on if more power is needed/wanted.


As for the tune. You send them your pcm and they reflash it with there tune as Ford20 (Sean) said. I agree with that and also disagree at the same time. It is a safe tune and you know that it is being done for your application, but I always prefer a dyno tune cause no 2 cars are the same.

Dawn, I saw ur car today, it is vicious...good luck!!!

Ok... So now I'll have to check out the Vortech.

So now do I order this on line and call real speed for the install, or do I go to Ford/Roush dealer?
Oh yeah...are u selling me your wheels Gregg?

 

[Wicked One]

You can order it online, but dont call either of those guys for an install. CALL ME!!!!

The only thing you need is a sct handheld tuner and a tune which anyone you get the blower from should have. Except roush, they have you send them the pcm.

And Frank, I have some work coming up that I could use a hand with. Text or call me if interested.

 

[Frankie Lap]

That sounds Grrrreat!! Also u right...no balls out....$8000 is way too much!!!! What about those wheels....or did I dream u were selling them to me? Lol. I guess the suspension will be a call to u too? Lol.
I can barley move, but Angelo is def available to help, I can offer moral support!!!

The Roush m90 will suit you just fine if you just want some extra horsepower for some street fun.I have it on my car and installed it myself in about 16 hours taking my time.(Gregg was supposed to help but never did LOL ...sorry Gregg).For the price I got mine for I couldnt pass it up.

 

[ROUSH 4]

THE INSTALL.............. I ALSO LIKE EDELBROCK THE TECHNICALS.........EASY INSTALL WITH RIGHT TOOLS.

 

[Ooida]

Hahaha, I'm the same way I know how to drive n pump gas lol.
You should totally ask Stu ( Roush4) he knows a lot. I got him in my friend list talk to him .. Good luck

 

[Wicked One]

Sorry Dave. I knew you could do it without me just bring it by the house Frank and we will bang it out.

I've installed and tuned Vortech, Paxton, Procharger, Roush, Saleen, Kenne Bell, Edelbrock and Whipple superchargers on 05-09 Mustang GTs.

All of them will get the job done. My personal preferences are the Vortech and the Whipple. Some work better than others right "out-of-the-box," but with a little tuning and a few extra parts they all can be made into great packages.

The Roush kit is a very nice supercharger, but you need to know going in that it has the LEAST power potential of all the ones I listed. If it makes all the power you want just-the-way-it-comes then it is a great kit. But most people who start out with a supercharger eventually end up wanting more. By starting with the Roush you are limiting the upgrades you can do later.

Some people say that the block limits you to the power potential of the Roush anyway, "so why go bigger?" That is not true. With a good tune the factory long-block can handle an easy 50 more HP than the Roush can put out with great long term durability, and I have some customers driving around on the stock long block with 120 more HP than the Roushcharger can put out.

Dan has some great points. The tune is the limiting factor between safe and on the ragged edge of destruction. I had my stock block at 500 with the kenne bell. Tune was good, and not the edge.

It has been said before, long term goals play a major part in deciding what power added to go with.

Decide on a price index and work from there.

You guys are awesome....hard not to love NYM. Ok....so say I go big and go with the intercooled whipple at 550 hp, the engine will be fine from what I'm learning, I'll do a conservative tune. But how about the clutch, suspension or anything else I'm missing, is all that stuff ok? I will not be killing this car everytime out...if at all, just keep reading if your gonna Whipple supercharge it, spend the extra and intercool it.
