So lets hear it... what did it actually cost to supercharge your coyote?
Item price? Install price? What extras had to be installed?

 

I've been researching them for a while. You can buy one for anywhere from $6K to $8K and more. My install will cost about $2K. I'm looking at a E-Force with a Brenspeed tune, installed for under $8K.

 

Going to put in my 2 cents. My current 13 is not supercharged but I did have a Paxton Novi 1000 on my 01 GT. If you are going blown and believe me, im all for it..if you have the money its great!!! Be sure you have enough set aside to replace the engine if something goes really wrong. If the car is your daily driver that's even more important. Nothing went wrong on mine but the installer gave me that advice.

 

6500$ came with everything i needed.

Install was done with my own two hands.

 

+1 and add a couple of hundred for a gauge.

 

So we're at $6700 with SC and a gauge. Plus you'd need an oil separator at least. That's $6900.

What else has to be installed?

 

I really really want a SC, but if I had that kind of coin I would have bought a GT500 off the bat.

 

Bought a used Saleen from a forum member who parted his mustang before trading it in for about $3k. This was 5 years ago.

Got everything I needed from injectors to extra pulleys. Did have to get a can tune from brenspeed and then drove the car to Houston for a dyno tune. So all in about $3500. Labor was me.

I did by from a trusted source and the SC was originally installed and removed by brenspeed so it was really an easy transaction. But these are few and far between.

 

Having started with a new base GT and this is how it rolled for me:

Roush phase 1 SC=$6,099
Installation=$1,300
Roush optional warranty=$375

I think true cost should also consider: premium fuel, stickier tires, suspension mods, custom tuning, SC upgrades, broken parts and future resale value.

 

It never stops at just the supercharger lol

I just spent 700$ on new rear drag radials. lower control arms cause the more horsepower created wheel hop. Then I got new hood struts to make the engine bay look cleaner. Then of course you want to dyno it to know what numbers your putting down.

 

You nailed it, it never stops at the supercharger! And if you feel the need to supercharger the coyote for street use that's a whole different addiction in itself! Lol I bet it's a blast though :-) :-)
For me started with the blower, then gauges, then lcas for wheel hop, then new tires to hook up better lol..

 

Thats how it went for me too lol blower, gauge ( though i need a couple more) then LCA's then new tires lol.

 

That's kinda pricey, we can do the install and still provide the warranty for around 7k.

 

You should get wider tires or you could end up like this blue stang on stockers. http://youtu.be/ErC_807O_6U

 

Jay where are you guys located?

 

I 2nd this quote above. Everything you "need" comes with ANY kit you order, whether it be Roush, Whipple, Maggie, etc.

Where you really save money is the install. Not only is it cheaper, but you get the joy and satisfaction of doing it with your own bare hands. Nothing can compare to doing it yourself. Besides, who else would you "trust" on your baby other than yourself? hmmmm

That's an expensive gauge!!! lol... are you talking just boost, or AFR, etc? My Defi was I think 100...

Not sure if I agree with this. A new GT500 (a 2012 at that time) was 55k, at least. A 2014 GT500 is even more. There is NO WAY I have even THAT close invested in my car. Is it a GT500? No. Is it just as fun or maybe fun-ner? Oh yes.

Don't get me wrong, if I was filthy rich (like Patrick...muahahaha) I'd have bought a Shelby too. But alas...wife to keep happy, kids to feed. hehe.

Russ, I agree 100%. It doesn't end. Never ends. I wonder how long my Nitto DR's will last? hmmmm

Josh, go with Jay. Stand up guy. Been working with him and Dan for months now. Bought quite a few things from them. In terms of customer service, I really feel strongly that they are in a league of their own. JDM Engineering is close.

 

Baller!

 

Yes because Ballers buy used superchargers and install them themselves.

 

Jay, I agree with you on being pricey. Problem for me was the required installation by a ASE certified mechanic, which I’m not. Since I already have a good rapport with my local Ford/Roush dealer, they did the install. I can count on them for their customer service when Roush warranty claim time comes, as they handle the associated paperwork, parts and labor. Besides, they gave me a great deal on my suspension kit and a few other goodies, so I’m not complaining.

 

Heya Z... I totally understand it's not the same $$ as a GT500, but you're not far off if you have to and should upgrade most of the stock parts. Say your out the door price on a TP GT Premium after (NJ) taxes is 38k, 7k for the SC, 3k for wheels and tires, 1500 for upgraded suspension...1500 for brakes You're at 51k. Sure, i'm padding the numbers a little if you buy the good stuff and have to pay a shop to do some of the work.
