This week we had a customer drop off his 2006 FX4 F-150 truck for a Roushcharger installation. He had purchased the blower kit from a local Ford dealership and wanted to bring it to us for a professional installation. Also since we are a Roush certified installation facility he knew we could perform the job and keep his warranty intact!

I know this is nothing special for you guys but i just wanted to share what we did and found on the dyno. Here are a few pics below of what the truck looks like and a copy of its dyno graph. Please let me know what you guys think and what you have seen similarly on your trucks!

We made 361 RWHP and 444 TQ on a max Boost reading of 8.5 psi

If anyone is interested in installing one of these Roush or our Saleen Supercharger kits please contact us today at 732-780-0770!

Thanks,

What happens if you install it yourself, and have to take it somewhere to have it tuned. Is it able to run, prior to a tune?

 

I believe that it comes with a very very mild roush tune to get you going but then to get every ounce out of it is where custom tuning comes in

 

Yes, you can drive it just fine. Simply keep your foot out of the boost until you can get a proper tune.

 

Ah okay, cause I figured. The day I eventually get one, I'd be able to install the supercharger, but wouldn't be able to tune it myself. Thanks

 

It double posted.

 

Ha, supercharge it then stay out of boost?!?!!?! you know how many people will abide by that!

Actually the kit comes with a Fedex box to send your PCM overnight to ROUSH for their Re calibration then they overnight it back. 3 days total time to ship and recieve the one we did. to all the guys at ROUSH!

The Roush tune is very safe, 91 or 93 octane is required. We can make some nice advancements in the shifting and throttle response with a tune but there isnt much more power to gain unless your adding some boost!!

Not too bad, actually. What kinda install cost did it come with?

 

Its not a bad install to do yourself but id want to have a professional install it myself. Its something that needs alot of special attention and taking your time to make it right.

 

It was about $1200 total with labor, fluids, and misc loom, hose clamps, etc..
Its a solid 2 day job
