Superchargers

First I want to say Sal and I have worked together in the past on a couple of projects, and we *collectively* have years of experience with blown mod motors. Both of us have 10+ (He probably spent a few, if not twice as many more) years as Ford Certified Advanced Electronics and Drivability Specialists prior to doing the custom stuff (Blowers, turbos, Nitrous, and tuning). He is authorized BOTH as an SCT AND a Diablo custom tuner. In short, he knows these systems, and far beyond my scope. Just giving credit where credit is due...

I will say he is an EXPERT, and has MUCH more experience and dyno time than I do (We don't even OWN one... LOL!). He was custom tuning these things long before I got involved in it full time. He is certainly an asset to these forums!

I am definitely with Sal on his take on these systems. I have heard outlandish numbers on the Roots/Screws (Saleen for one) however, have not personally had my hands on the new line that ARE intercooled. This is why I never carried KB or Vortech. I cannot yet believe the numbers I have seen were out of the box kits, that is for SURE.

ETA on the Whipple? I will call Whipple again, but remember, this phase of the wait is a contract between Art Whipple and Ford Racing. No ETA yet...

Regarding the DEALER warranty once the Roush unit is installed, you have no need to worry. This is why...

An AFTERMARKET bumper to bumper warranty is included, which backs up exactly what Sal said. It will be conservative, mainly due to the fact that it is a 6 PSI NON-Intercooled system. It may not make the power the others do, but Roush sure offers protection. We go to great pains to ensure daily driver reliability (If I was UNsure, I would NOT have even considered the Procharger, but it IS here). That said, if warranty coverage (Without removing the blowe before a trip to the dealer), Roush has you covered.

You need NOT worry about ANYthing OTHER than the drivetrain where FORD and FORD ESP is concerned. Installing a blower does NOT void your warranty. Be careful though, SOME extended warranties SPECIFICALLY exclude superchargers! Worse case, a claim can be denied IF and ONLY if a piece of the blower is ingested in the engine or they can PROVE you were racing. NO SLICKS, NO DRAG SLICKS, No racing decals, and no balls of rubber in the wheelwells. All not in your favor... Get to know your Service Manager and the Techs that will work on the car. When we were in the dealer, nothing made work more fun for us that to work on a blown Mustang!
