Another point, how hard is it to return to stock? How is the shifting. Will Roush work with you to fine tune? I know prior experience, at least at customer service, was way less than stellar, both email and phone.
Not saying the tune isn't good, but I'd think those are viable questions. What I could find on the website made me wonder. Is it, "Just shut up because I said so", or what. I know MPT and 5* are very approachable, and don't make you feel like you're bothering them.

I don't think I could return to stock easily, it would have to be a trip to the dealer. No idea on the shifting but I already love the stock & sport modes so I assume with more power they would be even better. There just isn't any real reviews that I could find out there.
My problem is there is no where near me to get one tuned even if I wanted to go the route of a different brand (which I prefer not as I've done that before and normally just stayed with the canned tune anyway). When I had my GT500 tuned it was a random time they were up in NE from Florida and I had to take a day off work to do it.
I am kinda stuck with canned tunes and I would like to try the Roush, thinking maybe they know a bit more how to make a canned tune work and if my dealer will do warranty work on it that's a huge plus for me.
Only possible way I would go with a non dealer supported programmer/tune is if I refunded my ESP and just said screw it and be on my own.

Not easily returning to stock would be a deal breaker for me, I just can't see myself turning my wife or daughter loose with that much power. Not that they drive my truck much at all, but the potential is there, plus having an unknown mech drive it to check something out. I could trust my guys here, but not everywhere.
I'm curious if Roush is just letting any dealer do this, usually they only have a select few that are even allowed to sell a Roush Mustang.
Well, all in all, this whole thing is a moot point for me, I'm already tuned, but just thought I'd throw my own thoughts out there.

The Dealership told me they will not honor my warranty nor my extended warranty if I decide to get this this... So, I decided not to get it.

I like to go FAST
Can get equal or more power from CAI, Catback, 93 Tune from various places with the ability to Flash it back to Stock tune if you do need to visit your dealer.

Update?
Looking at getting this Roush Power pack, and also getting a Hp Tuner to flash it back to stock in case of warranty claim. I’ve been told by my local dealership they wouldn’t honor the warranty if it was flashed. My question is how do you like it? I’m really torn between Roush’s pack and getting the SCT with like a 5 Star tune.

My truck goes in for the Roush flash tune in about a hour. My Ford dealer assures me that it will not void any of my warranty. I will report back as soon as I pick it up. Truck has Borla Exhaust, Roush CAI and now will have tune. Tank was drained and Shell 91 no ethanol gas put in.
Wish me luck.
