Roush supercharger for my 5.0 automatic.
To start out with I have a 2012 5.0 automatic and I was thinking of going with a Roush Phase 1 supercharger because of the price. Today I called two Roush Ford dealers for pricing and install but since its Saturday I guess I'll have to call back Monday ?
Few questions I have does the PCM need to be sent to Roush to be programmed or could a tune just be loaded on to the SCT tuner that I have already for the car ? Anyways this is something new to me also is there anything else I need to know before purchasing one and if there is any one in the New Orleans area that can recommend a shop for the install oh ya just thought about it I heard if with the phase 1 kit you retain the factory warranty ?
Ill also take any other recommendations for other brand supercharges.
Thanks....

If an authorized roush dealer installs it or a certified mechanic the warranty is in tact. The installer will remove the PCM and send it to roush for programming. If you don't want the roush calibration like I didn't because it sucks then you can get a mail order tune and upload it yourself or get a Dyno tune. I had vmp send me a tune and uploaded it.
You have to purchase the warranty through roush, I believe it's $300.

Great my car is tuned already and I have the sct tuner. From your pic looks like you have the Phase 1 if so any regrets on not getting the phase 2 and why ? Sorry for all the questiones but this is not a small purchase.

I did a data log with vmp and he didn't have to adjust anything on the tune, said it was spot on. My Dyno shop buddy said if he didnt know it was a mail order tune he would have thought it was a Dyno tune. Vmp is the best in my opinion with the tvs blower.
Lot of blower to choose from and I know no sympathy asked you "why roush" on mustang evolution. You can't really go wrong with any blower out there. I just think the tvs is the most efficient roots style, svt went tvs so it's got to be efficient.
Oh and I LOVE the roush kit by the way. I'm in az and when I push her I never notice a drop in power or heat soak issues.

Have you spoken with Roush direct? When I looked into it a few months back they were quoting me about a 1/3 of that to install. Yes you have to take it to them in MI but even driving there and back is not $1000 in gas and you can enjoy the car on the way home!!

The warranty they will sell you is dependent on using the Roush calibration they load onto your cars pcm. Using a aftermarket tune voids the warranty just like at the Ford dealer.
