If it's intercooled go for it.

If I were to go F/I I'd go with ATI Procharger. I do mostly highway driving and it would work better for me.

Jdm had $3000 Whipple's. It all depends on what you want to do. Whipple's make more power but if you don't have plans for a built motor a roush is fine. Also with Hotrod Cams you will lose a little boost as they have a lot of overlap to make the lope sound, plus as far as boost Cams go they are really intended for n/a but with that said, all over the net stangs with them and blowers make more power with the Cams then without.

im not planning on doing a built motor and im not really looking to go over 8-10 pounds of boost im not looking for a race truck just something fun to romp around. yeah there is a ton of stangs running around with with the cams and s/c. ive also been talking with troyer and he said its fine to run the cams and s/c.

If you plan to do 10 psi I would do troyers 2 lb upgrade kit and get the blower ported.

Tell him you can get the Whipple for 3K and offer him $2500. for it.

I like the roush for the separate belt system.

I have talked with jdm and I can get the whipple shipped to my door for 3300 then I would need 39# injectors for 250-300 which isn't a big deal or I can buy the roush for 3000 which already comes with everything and save the extra 550-600 and use that money to drive to troyer and have them install and dyno tune my truck along with longtube headers. I think this roush would suit my needs as I don't race the truck.

ROUSH! haha, I like the kit, I don't do any regular racing and got the truck just to have fun and function all in one. It works just fine to do an impressive burnout every once in a while or stomp on it from a light and get people saying, "Damn, this thing moves pretty good." You will be happy with either set up so I say get the Roush if you can get it cheaper. Also I think Troyer has more experience with the Roush kits if that is who does all of your tuning (dont quote me on that).
