The day is gettin closer. Roush R2300 sittin at ford. Just waiting for a ton of things(LT headers,gauges) to come from tillmans so I can install them b4 getting the blower.

How much additional weight is added when putting on the S/C? There is 3 or 4 boxes of stuff sitting there...It can't be that light. Does anyone have any idea?? Just curious.

I would say around 70+- a few.

Lol... Out of curiosity, why? I don't think an extra 70 lbs is gonna slow you down too much once you're making 400+ hp!

I'm interested in the R2300... Let us know how you like it once it's in!

I'll let you guys know how it all goes. Probably won't be for another 2-3 weeks I'm thinking.

I'm probably gonna take it pretty easy on the car. Till I can get afford the bulletproof bottom end. But what do you guys think??? Should I set the rev limiter to 5500 rpms?? Or is it gonna be safe as safe can be, at 5.5 - 7.5 psi...peaking around 10 psi @ redline?

keep the rev limiter at 6k-6250 cause you will still make power until 6k. and don't rev the piss out of it until you get the forged bottom end
