hmmm....
700hp with factory warranty? not bad. Im not a huge fan or the new gt500 but that should get moving for a health price tag.
This is still with the 281ci right? About 600rwhp+ to the wheels?

well... it will be in a three stage process.
stage 1: CAI+tune = 45net hp warranty
stage 2: plus 2.3L blower with non-removeable 78mm pulley+tune = 120hp/88trq. warranty
stage 3: additional 76mm or 72mm pulley, no tune, NO WARRANTY, "Other modifications may be necessary in order to maximize the horsepower gains." = "anticipated to push the GT500 engine to a mind-boggling 700 horsepower, 200 more than the stock engine."
So the anticipated 700hp isn't under warranty and requires a tune, among other mods.
Still, its a terminator with a new pair of sunglasses... not bad really!

The 2.6L KB, the 2.8L KB, and the 3.3L Whipple will all dominate
Roush's blower. The MP122H will be bringing up the rear.

Roush blowers are notorious for being crap. A 2.3L blower
is damned near too small for a 4.6L 4v. The 5.4L needs
a big blower to really shine.
