That's some great gains!! 140hp just from a couple bolt ons and a tune is no joke. What size was the stock pulley?

Why is it that ROUSH can produce this much power and get a tune perfect...but every other tuner shop adds an intake and custom tune and has #8 cyl and nock issues!?
Congrats on the mods, great choice!

Because Roush actually knows WTF they are doing, and they are an engineering & development house for Ford, so they understand what OEM quality and driveability is.

Seeing results like this is really swaying me towards the TVS now.

This isnt a Roush tune, its a Jon Lund tune...
I also do no believe any boosted car has had #8 go, I could be wrong though.

Very impressive. I've been lusting after the Roush kit.

Are you still on the stock internals? If so, any concerns or plans to upgrade?

Yes I am on stock internals, no plans to upgrade anytime soon as my next project is to buy another house.

It could be that the FI tunes being richer are running cooler at WOT.

Nice numbers! The A/F looks a little questionable over 7k, as it appears to be near 12.5...?
