2015 RR GT PP TVS
Nice! Spoiler delete! You gonna keep it a sleeper?.. or give it the wheels, stripes, hood, spoiler, exhaust, etc treatment....

2015 RR GT PP TVS
Thanks guys! Cody, I might stripe it just because the GT350 looks so good with stripes but we'll see. I do know a set of Borlas are in the plans and once I evaluate the wheel hop, maybe the Steeda wheel hop eliminator kit.
I had the windows tinted and paint protection applied before picking it up, that was after these photos.

I saw your parts for sale and thought what the heck is going on. You just got the RS1 fixed up nice. Now I understand. Congrats on the new ride. Very nice...

Also installed the BMR cradle lockout and Steeda differential bushing kit. The combo along with the springs really tightened up the handling! Loving it so far.

Thanks! Regarding the blower..... On my 06 I had a vortech kit pullied for 11psi and eventually removed it and installed a Saleen twin screw pullied for 10psi. Having the ability to compare systems on the same car with all other mods being the same really sold me on the twin screw. It made the same peak hp but tons more torque.
This base roush system with the 670hp tune is an animal. I know other people are running different kit levels and there are whipple kits out there capable of much more power but I really think the roush tvs kits are hard to beat for drivability and performance. Every time I think about upgrading it either via tune, pulley, or both I just go drive it and remind myself how well it performs as is. I am as particular about my cars as I am hard on them so although I don't baby them and I drive them exactly how I want, I expect them to perform exactly how I want and need them to and this one does that, engine-wise. At this point I think a short throw shifter and maybe some vertical links for the rear and I can honestly say I'll be happy. Well and maybe wheels and tires lol but that's a given.

Yes, Whipple is killing it on the dynos,.......but the VMP and Roush supercharger equipped cars are beating them at the drag strips from what I see and read. That good to hear.
Enjoy Tom. More photos!
