[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16175026, member: 191643"] Here's a really unpopular suggestion for you. How about install the Roush kit with the Roush included tune and drive it for awhile to see how you like it? I understand the excitement of new stuff and it's always fun to do it all at once. But it sounds like you are going to daily drive this car and would like to keep it in one piece for a bit. Roush worked directly with Ford Racing (Ford Performance now) to develop these kits. There is a lot of know how built into them. Sure, it's not the ultimate in what is capable but it is designed for perfect street manners and longevity. Are you sure you want to reinvent this before you even give them a try? I put the Ford Racing 2.3 Whipple on my '14 GT. Was going to get Lund to 'fix' Ford's tune as well. They said, "Sure, we can get a bit more out of it as it sits. Mainly in the low to mid torque. If I wanted more I had to be prepared to get bigger injectors, Boost a Pump, and a few other goodies to make it work." I figured that sounded great. Then I drove it on the street with the stock Ford/Whipple tune. Dropped two pulley sizes due to altitude where I live to get it to the design 9 psi with no tune mod as per Whipple's advice. It blows the tires off in third and more torque/power would be of little use without wheels, tires and more suspension mods. So, no aftermarket tune until it needs it for me. Suggest you give it a go. Even if you really want/need more you don't lose. You get to have a 'new' car with the Roush and then get to have a new one again with the new tune and other stuff. And, you get to enjoy the car and get used to driving the extra power over a slower, more graduated pace. Win/win! Have fun, you'll love it. [/QUOTE]
