SC'd Roush F150 Disappointing

[pciley]

I hope this isn't a repost, but a search yielded no SC'd Roush info.

Here is an article out of July's Motor Trend Truck, SUV, & Van Buyer's Guide

The addition of a "Roots-style" (screw-type) blower yielded an extra 105 hp and 155 ft-lbs of torque to the 5.4L V-8. Nice!!

The disappointment: 1/4 mile run is now..... 14.9 seconds.



That is what my Titan runs, and all I have is the Banks cat-back, Volant intake, 3" straight pipes in place of resonators, fold in big-tow mirrors, open tail gate. I don't even have to take the spare off.

The F-150 started out at 16.1, compared to Titan's 15.7 (my stock time slip posted long ago).

I am hoping that the Stillen blower will put us in the 13's, but looking at these similiar gains, I am weary.

I did like the decrease in stopping distance resulting from Roush's suspension tweaks (-27ft, 60-0mph). Very nice!

I also like that hood scoop.

I read a similar article on this truck and the comment stated 0-60 and 1/4 mile times were very limited due to traction problems.

did you read the price???

$18,000 upgrade for THAT?!?!

WTF? Looks like an 80's lightning anyway. Boring.

I think it looks pretty damn Sweet! I just wish that hood scoop was functional, would be an easy way to cool the blower that sits right under the inlet.

I'm still amazed that WITHOUT any brake upgrades, only suspension tuning, they were able to reduce the braking distance by that much!
