I agonized over this decision for a while. I looked at VMP, a vortech from Beefcake, steeda's magnuson, etc. For me it came down to the warranty. I searched high and low looking to not cut my timing cover, or make any huge mods. The vortech you need to cut a lot of hoses, modify the fan shroud, etc. and the TVS you need to modify the timing cover. There is no way around modificaiton. So then I searched for a good automatic solution. I narrowed it down to VMP and Roush. I like the VMP but the cost for the Stage 2 kit is high at $6,999. $1K higher than Roush. So I split the difference. I bought the Roush and then purchased the VMP wiring harnes kit for $149.

The centrifugals build power way up stairs and teh TVS more so down stairs. I would rather have the juice downstairs than upstairs. Easier on the components. Just my opinion.
Both solutons offer some major benefits. Just like vanilla and chocolate but again I can keep my warranty up to 50/60K with the Roush and since I am a certified Master Tech I can do the install myself and submit for the warranty as it either needs to be installed by an ASE tech or dealer for the add-on warranty to be valid. I can't get that with the Vortech beause I am runnign an auto and they offer no factory auto solution. They referred me to beefcake and they know their stuff but in the end I went TVS.

You can get 5% off on a vmp pkg and someone else has 1 year free financing.
If your going to add boost, you might as well do it right the first time and get the upgraded injectors, HE and CAI.
