Thanks for the info PORKCHOP!
Us "Ladies" have been looking at all the possible S/C options for our beasts, and this one looks pretty good!
I would be ready to order the Whipple, Vortech, Paxton, Keene-Bell, or whatever else is on the market in a heartbeat!
However, as much as the Roush unit sucks (as far as HP gains go), it does offer compliance with the factory warranty, if you buy it and have it installed at a Ford Roush dealer. So........
They have got us by the *****!
From what I hear, Roush is updating their S/C unit for our trucks and will have a new and improved version for next year.
I am waiting for the "Perfect" unit to surface, before I spend my hard earned $5K.
Again, thanks for the info and lets all get the best S/C possible for our beasts!

I am waiting for the KB. I think the gains for the Rousch are at 6# of boost, while all others are at 8#. That is roughly 20hp difference. The other difference is the tune. I would believe the Rousch is more mild, since the factory warranty is still intact.
Anyway, I would take twin screw over centrifugal any day for these trucks.

Not for daily drivers
The following quote says it all...
*Legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway.
So where do that leave us daily drivers who would consider a supercharger in our mods plan?

I recently had a conversation w/ a Vortech rep who brought in an 05 Mustang GT which was used on an upcoming Motor Trend feature and he was the one who actually mentioned the release of an application for the F-150. They are in the process of applying for CARB exemption.

Then again, the high real estate costs in Cali and NY are somewhat balanced out by higher wages and more opportunity.
