Default New Owner - New to Site

I am new to the forum and new to F150's. Just bought a 2017 Roush F150, all kitted out with the 650hp supercharger package so I have a lot to learn.

I had been a Dodge Ram owner for a long time. Never had any real problems with them but wanted something different and a little more fun to drive. I had the Ram and a muscle car, but could not justify owning 2 vehicles. I looked hard at the Raptor and liked it, but hated the idea that dealers wanted to get more than sticker. Plus, the ecoboost is a good engine, but misses the sound and rumble that I was looking for, and the Raptor sacrifices towing capacity. I wanted something that combined my truck with my muscle car.

I looked at the Shelby f150, but that was over the top and the Roush was a nice compromise.

I started with a F100 a long time ago, and now I have come full circle.

this started as the Roush truck with the exhaust, suspension and body/appearance stuff as well as the interior. I added the phase 2 supercharger and had the dealer remove the "splash" graphics from the fenders to clean it up a little.
the phase 2 is just a little different from the phase 1 as it takes the hp from 600 to 650.


so far, so good...
