That's understandable. Some people just have to play it safe and there is nothing wrong with that. There aren't many 'bad' options for this car. Which is precisely why we tried so hard on this setup. To stand above and bring something new to the table.

read the fine print... warrenty is not factory, its ford racing warrenty, its shorter than manufacturers, and you may also want to check, my dealer told me i would have to do it at time of purchase, after it you don't qualify for 2y/24kmil warrenty.

You have to talk to your dealer. I got my GT in October. They wanted to install the FRPP SC in my GT Premium for $5500. They said it wouldn't affect my warranty and it came with it's own 3/36k warranty. They couldn't put it in my car because it was an automatic, but the contract was already done so they honored our original deal and installed the Roush and added an addendum to not void my warranty.... and I got a 5 year extended warranty on top of that that excludes NOTHING.

TALK TO YOUR DEALER. And, make sure that they are authorized to specifically install FRPP parts.

that was a good deal, i guess its all in who you talk to at the dealer.. it is not what they told me, and i had an automatic, so the FR Supercharger was not availaible for me.

I am really impressed by how much power was produced by the twin turbos and how nice the setup lucks. However, I am even more impressed by how much torque and horespower that automatic trans was able to handle. Now I am wondering how much torque the new Ford auto trans can handle.

read up, he memtioned around 650trq it started slipping. a Trq convertor upgrade would fix that, then on to the next weak link.

I'm glad to see someone has the deep pockets to run this kind of forced induction that I can't afford to produce. I look forward to seeing what the famous coyote tops out at on stock internals.

Meanwhile back at the batcave.....

Jon Lund and Michael Rauscher of L&M Engines spent some time this weekend planning out the camshafts for this build. They made some nice breakthroughs and came up with some very trick ideas for the cams for this engine while doing some research on another combo. Also, Boss 302 CNC heads are on their way. This is going to be one of the most advanced Coyote builds to date thanks to Michael.

Question

Did you put the auto trans on a scale to see what it weighs ? I am wondering what is the actual weight of the automtic .

I can try and remember to do that. The car is still together. We are waiting until the new engine is here to take it apart.

I went ahead and created a site so I have one place for all the pictures videos and news. I'll still keep this thread up to date, but figured a site would help.
Right now there is not much there. I'll probably get it up to date this weekend.

I heard Roush SC kits offer a 3/36k warranty and they offer it to automatics too now.

Yes, but I think the 3/36 starts from the day you took delivery, but it's still better than the other kits.

I'm leaning toward the Roush kit because my dealer is a Roush dealer, so I'm guessing that if I buy it from them and let them do the install, they will stand behind it.

You might want to look into it a little more.

Straight from Roush:
Backed by ROUSHs 3 year / 36,000 mile limited parts warranty (See ROUSH Warranty for details)

Jason, so this means roushs DO come with a 36k warranty on ALL of car right? Not just the roush parts.
