Roush 2300 Supercharger Upgrade

Has anyone had the Roush 2300 Supercharger installed on your 2010 Mustang GT? I'm looking for some feedback from anyone who has before I pull the trigger to up my GT to 435 HP. I don't want a race car or a GT500--I just want a little more power than the Camaro SS and the 2011 5.0.

Specifically, what did the supercharger cost you "Out the Door?" I don't have the mechanical know-how to install it myself. Also, was it worth it? Lastly, does the stock suspension set up do OK with the increased power?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Well, the R2300 supercharger is NOT the 435 HP version, the R2300 is rated anywhere between 510 and 700 HP depending on the custom tuning and runs about 12-14 PSI boost with the pulley setup it comes with and is recommended to have a built motor to go with it.

The standard Roushcharger is the MP90 version and it is the 435 HP rated unit and runs 5 psi boost.

MSRP for the MP90 Roushcharger is $4999 amd the big R2300 is $5899. The small blower comes with Roush tuning where you overnite your ECM to Roush to get it flashed, the big blower does not get a Roush tune, you have to get a tuner to do it for you.

Don't know where you are but a good tuner that is a Roush dealer and can do the install for you too is JDM Engineering in New Jersey, www.teamjdm.com they can do the tuning even on the smaller blower if you want a custom tune instead of the standard Roush tune and they can make the big blower work with your stock 4.6 bottom end if you want.

You may get that I have done LOTS of research into the various supercharger systems for the 2010 GT's...

Some people may not agree but I think the Saleen series VI supercharger is a very good unit for these cars. Saleen's basic design has been somewhat copied by Edelbrock and Saleens new company Techo. They all have inverted blowers made integral to the manifold with long runners and top mounted air-to-water intercoolers.

Thanks Ltngdrvr

Yeah, I meant the M90 to start with, not the M2300. As I understand, going with anything other than the M90 or the Ford Racing basic charger voids the factory warranty, something I definitely do not want to do. At the same time, I'm trying to get the best bang for the buck. I may drop the big cash on a GT500 or a Roush 540R Hammer Mustang, but right now I'm leaning toward turning my GT into a sleeper car by adding a charger and a Ford Race Suspension package. Which route do you think I should go?

All those superchargers that allow you to keep the factory warranty have to be installed by a authorized installer or no warranty.

The Saleen basic supercharger kit is also available with the 3/36 warranty under the same guidelines.

The 2.3L TVS is the ultimate street blower. It doesn't have the top end of a twin screw but the low end torque is amazing. Get it.

I would never buy the roush kit because the intake tube is so ugly. I know thats a stupid reason but i just couldn't look at my engine if it has that.

He's not looking for that much blower and wants to maintain the 3/36 warranty and the R2300 doesn't offer that.

The inlet tube on the 2010 Roushcharger looks just like the one on the R2300 since they moved the throttle body over to the drivers side of the blower. It's not like the 2009 and earlier one where the t-body is on the passenger side with the inlet tube that wraps around to the drivers side to the airbox.

If I'm not mistaken, you can opt for warranty coverage, albeit limited, on Edelbrock's supercharger kit. It features Eaton's 2.3L TVS rotor pack which, as eci stated, is an outstanding blower.

i think the saleen looks the best, plus it looks low profile enough to keep the strut tower brace. the roush means you have to give it up.

The Saleen and Edelbrock were designed by the same guy, which explains why they have the same basic inverted screw design.

Will the Saleen fit under a factory 2010 strut bar?

I believe it will but you should check with some of the installers like Brenspeed who is a vendor on here.

If not there is a nice Strut tower brace that will work with the Saleen Blower.
Yes it goes thru the blower.
