IS THIS A DEAL? Time to step up and get boosted. I like the warranty but its not polished and that is an issue for me.

After posting this and crunching the numbers it is the going standard price. $5900 is list price The $400 for labor @ 8-10 hrs is the best part of the deal.
So the question now is how much under $6,300 installed is a great deal?

 

Not sure how much detail I go into on it on the boards, but let me suggest calling Mike Troyer for the SC. I *was* looking to get the intercooled SC WITH a Troyer custom tune that makes a LOT of difference (and is needed nomatter what to remove the 99mph limiter) for less than the normal price for just the kit. The custom tune and xcal 2 is worth $450~ since it is for a sc tune.

As for the install, after much research I found out it only needs an ASE certified mechanic to "sign off" on it...something to consider. You could likely tackle this install in 2-3 days with yourself and maybe some local members with some experience with a wrench and save some serious cash on the install. Or at least realize you have a lot of flexibility as to where you get it installed. It ISNT just at Ford dealers or Roush dealers like some claim.

Good luck!

 

Sounds like good information. Thanks. In the big picture, just like everyone with a toy who has experienced the great and the awful, I am just trying to put myself in the position to deal with "the awful" if it happens. The warranty on the Roush is the only thing that keeps me coming back to it...

 

All due respect to the supporting vendors, you can also look locally.

Swanson Performance (http://www.swansonperformance.com/) is in Torrance.
SoCalDiablo (http://www.socaldiablo.com/) is in Anaehim, by Knotts Berry Farm.

Both local shops will tune it locally on thier dyno, and install it locally for you.
I got a great dyno tune from Danny Swanson. He's very well known amongst the local Lightning & Mustang guys.

Send me a PM if you want some good info. I'm local, in Long Beach and have a bit of experience.

 

I thank you for your reply..... I tried to pm you but was unable to. Can you email me drews_f150@sbcglobal.net and I will send you my phone # and we can talk.

I would like to have something installed this week.

Thanks Drew.
