RUFDRAFT Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Okay boys and girls - keep a napkin handy. Finally - a polished version. As soon as they release the '07 version - we're gonna get blown. http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=703 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpenna Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Price seems kind of high. I'm new to the engine performance world, what are the advantages of the rousch over the kenne bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 The Roush runs a more modest boost (5 lbs) - so has less hp the Kenne - but Roush warranties the entire drivetrain for 3/36 as long as a certified Ford tech does the install. I'm going for peace of mind - not all the hp I can get. The Whipple is whipping (!) up a blower for Ford Racing - but no warranty on drivetrains - and only a 1 yr warranty on the blower. Gonna love poppin' the hood at car shows! Mine will be a daily driver - so I'm looking for reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpenna Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hmmm, good points. Are there rousch resellers that may have lower prices? Or are you stuck paying list price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Good point! I'll look into dealer pricing! Maybe I can save a few bucks. Got any favorite retailers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flattusmaximus78 Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ruf you made some points I've never thought of. Its a nice supercharger and picks up some serious numbers, but for the price I think I'd rather go vortech and save a grand. Or be a rebel and get the kb.

flattusmaximus78 Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Exactly I know. Vortech comes with a nice warranty for 3 years none the less Its un-comparable with roushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakeinAZ Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Why isn't 07 included? What's changed per official documentation (ie parts list). Not speculation like on website banter and pictures from car shows and salesman front lot BS. Anyone know, please no guesses.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordEvangelist Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Why isn't 07 included? What's changed per official documentation (ie parts list). Not speculation like on website banter and pictures from car shows and salesman front lot BS. Anyone know, please no guesses.... I know I'm not supposed to guess but I *guess* that the '07 incompatibility is due to the tune. Maybe Ford has changed something in the EEC for '07. I doubt anything else has changed. If I'm correct, then once they verify the tune is good for '07 models they'll release it as an '05-'07 kit. Saleen makes a nice kit, too. Very comparable to the KB. The only 3v engines that I'm aware of that have windowed (blown up) are guys making in excess of 450RWHP but I'm sure there are others untold.

flattusmaximus78 Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Like I said before a guy at mm has a kb 06 with 472 rwhp. He drives like a grandma because he's waiting for a new shortblock. 450 + is a no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 The tech at Roush told me Ford changed something on the design of the intake for '07. He thought they should have the new version out within a month. Roush is the only one I know of that warranties the entire drivetrain - not just the blower - for 3/36. Enlighten me if you can! I'm not married to a Roush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flattusmaximus78 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Nah ruf you seem to have your facts straight. Roush is the right way to go for daily driver if you can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordEvangelist Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Great Pics and write-up of Roush install Rufdraft, have you seen this already? This may be the greatest thread ever!

RUFDRAFT Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Thanks - a great thread! Only thing is - no warranty unless a certified Ford tech does the install! But for those not under warranty - great instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpenna Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hmmm mustangtuning.com carries them, but their price is list price. I hate all this "no sales" price fixing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I know, me too. Apparently, it depends on the strength of your product. I was looking for an office desk - and I like Lexington's Bob Timberlake's cherry line. I had to call about 10 retailers to find one that would come down off of msrp on the desk! Most said Lexington didn't allow that. Luckily, I found a store hungry enough to deal. I don't see that happening with the blower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitpup Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Ruf... the Roush a roots type S/C, correct? How does a roots differ from a twin screw like Whipple and Saleen? Where does the power come in, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordEvangelist Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Kenne Bell PDF That's a pretty good explanation. It's from KB but explains the differences. The Lightning guys often refer to the Eaton roots blowers as "Heatons" because they generate so much heat. Remember - heat kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 And some great how-to pics! Well done! But Roush told me that I need to have it installed by a certified Ford tech to keep the warranty valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolttime Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I am a licensed tech myself but the install was so easy that anybody with a little mechanical experience can do it. the instructions were very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadTony Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 isn't the Roush SC product just a licensed verion of the 2 screw Whipple design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
