Maybe a little less. The warranty tunes from Roush are VERY conservative.

How are you liking the Rousch kit? Look at S/C too but afraid of what it will do to my insurance...

It won’t effect your insurance, they base the insurance on your VIN. You can choose to add additional coverage so the supercharger would be covered also.

I have not gotten the truck back yet, it was finished up today. But had to have them drop it off for the amp/subwoofer install (just doing 1 10” alpine)

They did the dyno in the middle of the day at 80* and high humidity, and not sure if they let it cool off completely after doing “shake down” on it.

Will have the sheet tomorrow but he said 505/502 at the wheels. This was ran on the same dyno as a few days ago, which is a dyno jet. They were short staffed so was not sent a video of the pull. 😪

So is this the first 2018 Roush truck, other then the test trucks?

500rwhp sounds about right. Those warranty tunes are insanely conservative. After the warranty runs you can take it in for an aggressive 93 octane tune and easily pick up 50+rwhp, tune only
Looks cool. That's definitely one of the first new gen front feed 2650 blowers installed.

Thank you, from what I have seen there are two in Texas, but that is all I have heard of.
