almost had a heart attack today

So I called a local Ford dealer to ask how much would be their labor cost if they install a Roush blower on my 14 GT. They said $2,650.

It took me about 12 hours and I took my time. Do it yourself.

A local indie shop has already quoted me $800. This shop is pretty good. They are the only shop that does work on my BMW.

Contact Brenspeed ! They're an authorized Roush distributor and I'm certain they would install it for you much less than your local Ford dealership.. Plus you'll also get a much better tune as well..

If you are in Maryland there is really only one place to go to and that is JPC Racing.

it cost me about 8 hours, and a box of pizza for a couple buddies.

If you lived close, you could give me your 2650 plus a box of pizza.

Nope stuck with S197 and bought a 14 SGM. I still haven't warmed up to the S550s even though they have more amenities.

Today, I emailed Roush themselves. They said they will do it for $1,100. Roush is an 8 hour drive for me.

Ugh, only way to do that is ship it to them but then you have to deal with that cost.

You really need to contact JPC ... they build/sell awesome engines, turbo kits, T-56 Magnum XL conversion kits, and all kinds of other parts.
Plus, they RACE their cars that THEY built.
And they're in MD, no 8-hr drive for you

No offense, but why would you drive the 8 hours to Roush to get it installed when JPC is probably like an hour away at the most? This is one of the cars they have in their shop right now getting an upgrade. You can see the Cobra Jet in the background that they are working on. These guys could do a Roush install with their eyes closed just like Roush could.
