And 1fifty, although it has plenty of HP - it'll never have the torgue my Superdauty had. I still get a little teary eyes at times.

Thanks guys

Yeah I wonder about that. You didn't get the fx appearance package so maybe 13 changed the fx4 gauges.

I noticed the "sound screen" windshield but nobody can tell me anything about it. I don't have any noise in my F150, it's about like my F250, just road noise anyway.

1. Factory powertrain warranty is void, some Ford dealers will say otherwise but you will be hard pressed to have one Ford dealer install a SC then have a different Ford dealer attempt to perform factory powertrain warranty work
2. Roush offers a 3 yr/36 mo optional powertrain warranty (different from their 3 yr/36 mo parts warranty) for around $400 for their 525 HP 5.0L Phase 1 kit. I have the 570 HP Phase 2 kit. They just started offering an optional warranty for this system if installed by an authorized dealer and the price is $1495 for 3 yr/36 mo. Most people will say that's crazy but there is an enormous amount of new risk involved so I feel the price is justified.

All in all I'm very satisfied which is what I was aiming for, to satisfy my personal need for HP and the right appearance.

Thanks for the compliments and interest.
Thats good to know Im thinking about a SC but not for quite some time I like that they offer warranty though thats cool keep up the good work
