Impressive 23.8 MPG on the highway!

Which supercharger did you go with?

I got a Roush Phase 2 Launch Edition. Wanted to get one with a warranty and the dealer had these.

How much was the cost if you dont mind me asking and did the dealer pay for the supercharger or did you buy it and bring it to them?

Bought it from the dealer or thru them, I guess. With the kit install, new oil and everything including tax, out the door was $12.9k. The blower kit itself was $9,999.99

That's a great deal, was quoted 3900 for install or 14,999 with the Whipple other day

Interesting. I do know it was pretty good deal. The dealer said I could do the Whipple as well. I guess maybe there's more modification you can do with that one? But I wanted to stay under warranty since I just bought the car and with those options, both the Whipple and Roush give the same HP. My dealer guy that does the performance stuff said he just recommended the Roush for reliability and design, but that the Whipple would whine more if I wanted that. I actually ended up getting the Launch Edition version as well, which I've seen online for about $3-4k more. They mistakenly grabbed that one and already had it on when they realized the mistake so gave it to me anyway. According to them. Bottom line, she's like a new car. It was scary BEFORE the upgrade and now.. I still haven't had the guts to truly just floor it, but I've gotten up to 130'ish. It just keeps accelerating....

I've got to say, it is SO FUN. Now, when I get done with these stock tires I'm definitely going to need to get some wider ones, at least for the rear. But it's just too much fun. It's a pricey upgrade but if someone can do it, I recommend it highly.

How long did they keep the car for the install?

3 days. All done.

For me, at optimal settings cruising it's 30 miles per gal. If the road is level, if I set the cruise control and don't do anything. But it's hard to maintain these ideal conditions.

Yeah, I get get to 30...for a shorter while...probably better if I WAS somewhere nice and flat. But I had probably 2-3 mpg more before the supercharger. Which makes sense. Really, I thought if anything there would be MORE difference and was pleasantly surprised.
