Yes, they do run pretty good. Install an after market cold air induction kit and Predator tune and it'll run even better. Couldn't believe the difference this made in mine. This simple mod gets you 30-40 extra horsepower. This is basically what they did to achieve the 40 extra horsepower in the KR.

As a former Roush owner the handling on these cars is SOOOO superior to the GT500's. I would of taken the lower production, more balanced car over a straight line shooter everyday of the week. Either way, congrats on the purchase!

Re: roush mustang value
 

Get a smaller pulley on the supercharger, bigger injectors and a dyno tune and you will put down 600 hp..:)

and exhaust....JBA set up my buddys 500 and it is brutally quick. He has had a Viper, 360 Modena, M5 BMW, Lambo Guardo (spelling ?) and feels this car accelerates quicker. That is alot of HP for the money for sure. Congrats very very few cars will hang with it going straight.

Re: roush mustang value
 

I have seen the cold air kits and smaller pulleys. What exactly is a Predator tune?

Re: roush mustang value
 

A tune is a recalabration of the ecm parameters that control the a/f and other important adjustments that must be done if you install any sort of high flow air intake or larger injectors or maf. Tuning shops like Evolution or Tillmans do this while the car is on the dyno. I had it done to my car and picked up 40 hp without supercharging. Predator is one such company who sells 'canned' tunes which help but do not work as well as dyno tunes.

Re: roush mustang value
 

So if I take the car to a shop with a dyno I don't need to buy the handheld tuning device that is sold at many places? I saw a combo of a cold air box,pulley and tune which listed well over 100 rear wheel hp increase.Sounds neat!

Re: roush mustang value
 

you still have to buy a handheld tuner because they can and in a few different tunes. I have a 93 octane race tune, an 87 emissions tune(passes NJ emissions) and an 87 street tune for days i don't want to run 93 octane. + your stock tune.
