brucelinc Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 For several months, I have been researching superchargers for my Mustang GT. I considered Whipple, Edelbrock and Roush. With either the Whipple or Edelbrock, I would need a custom tune from a tuning company to make the car run well and to have safe engine parameters. The Roush has a very good running and safe tune. Although the Roush uses an excellent and highly respected Eaton blower, they do have a design flaw. The intercooler is smaller and mounted under the blower instead of on top. That can lead to heat soak at the drag strip. The Roush would provide me with a year of powertrain warranty which the others would not have. Roush recently introduced their phase 2 kit for 2018+ models with 750 crank HP and 670 lbs/ft of torque. So far, customer feedback and dyno results look very good. It is still not the best design but they upgraded the heat exchanger and tuned the fans to run more. I like the affiliation with Ford, too, so I ordered the Roush kit. I am having a Senior Master Ford tech install it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSchicago Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I assume you ordered the stage 2 then? On my 18, I am considering Whipple, Edelbrock, and Procharger. Procharger seems more streetable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 Yes, stage 2. I changed my mind at least a dozen times over the past few months. I am not sure there is a BAD choice. It really depends on the end goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtferrell Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Following to see how this turns out. How long will the "surgery" last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 I got the car back after a couple of days. Drivability is excellent. In normal driving, you would never know it was supercharged. On our cold highways, traction is a problem under heavier throttle, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I was watching an old Fantomworks last night. Dan put a supercharged LT4 into a rebuilt 69 camaro convertible that weighed 3000 lbs. He could barely keep the rear end in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
