Yes, it's the Eaton. Good luck with the Roush Warranty. I haven't delt with them personally but from what I hear, it can be very difficult.

Let us know how it goes.

You may be right manowar..difficult...Update: the dealer contacted roush..they wanted pictures so they took them...Roush then,aftr seeing pictures wanted proof that it was a roush WTF..it says ROUSH in big letters which were in the pictures. The dealer then sent the copies of the original invoice and all the numbers and told me there should be no way that it isn't covered. I feel a little better knowing the dealer is on my side and that I counted the roushes on the lot...12 at the current time + 2 gt's with roushchargers. If they do weasel out of it somehow I agree with Redfire and will be switching to whipple or keene bell or perhaps a lawyer who will enforce this wrongful death.

You would be so much happier with the KB or Whipple. Just thing what 75 more hp would feel like

Thats what it would be going of of the 374 you posted in the other thread.

Big sigh of relief! Got word today that the Roush warranty will cover me and the new s/c is being shipped today. I ordered the smaller pulley so the 2 more lbs of boost will definately make me feel better about the wait. I'm hoping this will push me over 400rwhp. Seems like a nice milestone to shoot for.

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 04:27 PM

congrats man.

GTNorm · October 17th, 2007, 04:35 PM

Thanks Hmusn. I have a question to throw out. Does anyone think I should be checking into bigger injectors while it's torn down or would they not be necessary in that horsepower range? I think someone said the stock are fine till up over 475 hp.

HMUSN · October 17th, 2007, 04:41 PM

your good with what you have for now man.

besides even if you up the boost down the road injectors are very simple to swap out.

CobraR · October 17th, 2007, 06:36 PM

good to hear you're getting a new one! have fun and let us know what numbers you make with the new pulley

Jucostud · October 17th, 2007, 07:42 PM

sounds good! A K.B. would of been nice though!

That's great news!! congrats

06RedfireGT · October 18th, 2007, 02:15 PM

Def good news. Now that you have the new pulley coming we need a huge burnout vid

GTNorm · October 18th, 2007, 09:41 PM

06Redfire...are you offering to film it? I saw in another post you were from Florida too...what part? I'm near Orlando

lol awesome dude glad u got it replaced.. and not only that ur getting an upgrade with it..

have fun with it..

GTNorm · October 26th, 2007, 07:22 PM

Got er back and she runs great with that extra boost. What a beautiful sound. Thanks for all the support in my time of gloom.

06saleen3v · October 26th, 2007, 10:28 PM

I would get 39lb injectors...good for you on the replacement

Pastor J · October 27th, 2007, 05:06 PM

Congrats on them covering it. I've got a Roush and I've never had a problem with them covering warrantied products. The basic reason I went with a Roush S/C versus a Whipple or something else is because I got a 7 year 70,000 mile warranty on the entire powertrain including te s/c. That way if anything happens while I break the motor in they can replace it.

Then once I've got miles on it, I'll retune and replace with a ProCharger or Vortech.

GTNorm · October 27th, 2007, 07:57 PM

Pastor, I was told the Roush warranty was still only 36 months even though the power train was longer on the new ones. Hope you're right. I would also reccomend the pulley to you it is a noticeable difference in the feel and sound of it. When I get to the dyno again I'll let you know how much difference it made. Norm

Pastor J · October 27th, 2007, 10:37 PM

Norm,

Please let me know what the difference was. I'm really interested. I actually hit it at the right time. They were offering an extended warranty of 7 years on the powertrain at the time I bought mine. I even got a 2K cash back rebate and great financing from my bank on top of the X plan I get on the car.

God was blessing me the day I went in to check this one out.

I'm hoping to do the pulley upgrade, the strut tower brace, and the new gauge pod from Speed of Sound while she's in the garage for the winter.

TheUNZippee! · October 28th, 2007, 01:06 AM

That sucks, Norm. Best of luck getting her done right man.
