I'm sure most of you know what my car is like... I can list the mods if you'd like.
Going with a Fluidyne Cooler and Meizere Pump w/ GT500 Big CAI.
:beers:
EDIT :
6M TR6060
MGW Short Throw Shifter
Mcleod Twin Disc
Steeda LCA
WOT BOX - (not installed )
305 DR's
1 Piece DS
12 Boss 302 forged block
1 7/8 Long Tube Headers, HF x Cat's,catbacks
Tru Trac differential w/ trick flow girdle.
Can't think of anything else.

Did you see Evolution Performance made over 1,000rwhp with a Procharged 5.0? You won't see that with a Roush. Also, with the Procharger, you'd be able to run the Boss intake. You can run larger belts with a Procharger.
What are your plans for the car? Street machine? The Roush kit might be enough for you but just know that someone with a highly boosted Procharger will probably outdo you on the street anyday.

Yeah, I saw it. They have a built motor. I can probably make around 800WHP with my 12 Boss forged block. That's good enough for me LOL. It's a street car.
