Roush: TVS2300 ROUSHcharger (for Ford Mustang GT) news

From Jalopnik:

Let's say you've got a current generation Ford Mustang GT that doesn't get you excited any more and a couple grand taking up space under your mattress. Roush Performance can solve both of your problems with the addition of a new supercharger dubbed the TVS2300 ROUSHcharger. For around $5000, Roush will provide you a kit of parts which, when properly assembled and tuned, develop more than 700 HP. Holy. Crap. The cool part about the kit is if you already have a Roush supercharger, this kit can take advantage of some of the parts and save you cash. Details, and musings after the jump.

We're going to get serious here for a second. This kind of thing should almost be illegal. For the cost of a used 'Stang and five G's, anyone can rock out with something like 700 HP? That's insane. That's unbelievable. That's making us reach for the Autotrader!

UNLEASH UP TO 700 HORSEPOWER WITH NEW TVS2300 ROUSHCHARGER®

LIVONIA, Mich. (July 10, 2008) - ROUSH® Performance has always been the
leader in powertrain performance and with the introduction of the new
TVS2300 ROUSHcharger® it is possible for owners of any 2005 to 2009 Ford
Mustang GT to inject up to 700 horsepower under the hood.

The new TVS2300 ROUSHcharger will be available in a variety of packages
to fit the needs from enthusiasts wanting a new complete kit with a
warranty, those simply looking to get the maximum horsepower with a
custom tune, and owners wishing to upgrade a car with an existing
ROUSHcharger system. The new TVS2300 ROUSHcharger was first used on the
2008 ROUSH P-51A™ Mustang vehicle builds to much acclaim.

For those willing to explore the wild side, the TVS2300 ROUSHcharger is
now sold separately allowing custom tuners to develop their own
calibration which can push the horsepower anywhere from 510 to more than
700. This is the first time that ROUSH is offering specialty tuning
firms the option of using their own calibrations and being creative with
their tune on a ROUSHcharger. This kit includes a cold air intake
system, unique fuel rail with 52 lb.-hr. injectors, a dual 60 mm
electronic throttle body, all hardware, brackets and instructions. With
a one-year component warranty, this kit retails for $5,899 (part number
403994).

Owners of an existing ROUSHcharger system can upgrade to the TVS2300
ROUSHcharger for $4,999 (part number 403995). This kit includes several
of the same components above but utilizes as many of the installed
ROUSHcharger components as practical to help reduce the upgrade cost.
Customers will need to work with a custom tuner for maximum performance.
For complete details, visit www.ROUSHperformance.com.

The TVS2300 ROUSHcharger utilizes Eaton's new Twin Vortices Series
technology. The patented design on this supercharger system features a
four-lobe rotor and high-flow inlet which greatly enhances thermal
efficiency, higher volume capacity, and higher operational speeds.

"The gloves are off for the specialty tuners to get really creative
with a ROUSHcharger now," said Joe Thompson, general manager of ROUSH
Performance. "We're excited to see what some of these guys can do
with the new TVS2300 ROUSHcharger and really explore the type of
performance that this new unit is capable of. We've heard some numbers
from a couple of exploratory installs already and I must say that they
are very impressive."

The complete kit with a ROUSH-backed 3-year/36,000 mile engine warranty
will be available shortly. This version of the TVS2300 ROUSHcharger is
50-state legal and rated at 510 horsepower and 510 lb.-ft. of torque.
Included in the package is the complete TVS2300 ROUSHcharger system
featuring new upper and lower intake manifolds for the high capacity
air-to-water intercooler and larger TVS supercharger. A custom ROUSH
calibration is included, as well as new fuel rails and high-flow 52
pound fuel injectors, a high-flow capacity fuel pump, as well as a dual
electronic throttle body. A ROUSH Cold Air Kit with a stylish carbon
fiber clean air tube helps to dress up the engine bay and provides
improved performance.
This is just insane. I guess American Muscle FTW.

Mustang GT = 300ish HP? So +400 Horsepower? for $2000?

That has to be the best HP/Cash ratio I have ever heard of.

Hmm. Maybe I should look into a Mustang GT... then again I'd look so stupid in one.

The supercharger is capable of 700hp, but the internals aren't. The article is wrong.
