Roush M90 OR Roush 2300?
Hey folks,
for all you experts out there, which one would you recommend?
I plan to stay on stock internals, I'll probably just upgrade the clutch down the road. my goal is to be around 430rwhp. Could this be done with the m90 or should I spend the extra dough and go for the 2300?

The 2300. The M90 was really only used because it's cheap and readily available. That supercharger is more at home on a 4-cyl or a v6. Case in point, it was used on v6 GTPs/Regal GS and for a year or two Monte Carlo/Impala SS. It was also used on the base model v6 Holden Commodores as well.
Even on those motors it's so small it has to be heavily intercooled because it lack efficiency.
Another way to look at it is that the Lightnings had an M112, and the Jaguars used an M90 on the v6 and a M112 on the v8.

I'd definitely say 2300. I was researching the M90 and 2300 back when I was looking at supercharging my car. While the M90 is cheaper than the 2300, You're going to have to spend a couple grand in supporting mods to get the M90 up to the power level you want. And it might not even get there, I've seen some with upgraded pulley exhaust etc barely break 400rwhp. The 2300 on the other hand will make 430rwhp on its own without breaking a sweat.

Either the 2300 or the GT500 blower the M122. Lots of guys doing the M122 great street blower for under 500rwhp and less expensive than the Roush kit. But it is a bit more work if you're looking to save your pennies sourcing the parts. Lots of help if you're interested HERE.
My 2010.
When I first did the install.
Now that is is all finished.

Oh okay so the 2300 it is.
908ssp I thought about doing the DoB mod since it's cheaper but unfortunetly I do not have any knowledge about installing all those components. Specially if I had to find all the extra parts. It would be great though If someone could help me install it.

Checkout the board linked above. Some guys are putting together the rest of the parts to make complete kits, of course you have to pay for that. With 40 guys having them already and more everyday there might be someone close to you that can give you a hand. Plus you have a board dedicated to helping you with loads of info already up and full instructions just days away.
The Roush 2300 is a great kit. No easier to instal than the DOB kit but with a little more head room. Unfortunately that only helps if you're willing to spend an additional $6000.

908ssp thanks for all your feedback. I wish you were my neighboor lol!
I would go with the DOB because of all the room for growth and price but like it just seems too complicated for me. The biggest thing I've done on my car is taking off the bumper . Even If I decide to get the Roush, I was gonna pay to get it installed. The m90 is rather cheap too. I've seen them for about $3999 and I think that's a decent price. I've seen a few youtube vids and some guys have achieved around 420 - 430 rwhp with their m90 set up and a pulley kit (this I like). Any more thoughts on that?

I wouldn't use the M90 if it were free. It was design for the GM v6 it is just too small. It is spinning too fast and creates a lot more heat so it might get 430 on the first pull and 380 on the second. You want a blower to run cool on the street so bigger is better and the TVS and M122 run cool on the street cooler even than the KB or Whipple. Some of the guys who have installed the DOB kit are offering install services one guy is even putting together complete kits.
