Correction to my last post... Both companies offer 3yr/36Kwarranties on their own, seperate from Ford. But neither list aftermarket tuning or chips on their spec sheets.

LA West has the cosmetically enhanced GTR versions and a Roush S/C 460HP version called the Boss.
Saleen will be offering their Sport Truck in the S/C 450HP version, and a NA 325HP version.

If either are putting a custom tune or chip in them, they ain't talking about it...

 

I will admit, I wasn't 100% sure if they did or not. I thought that would be something they would put in. Maybe not a chip but some tunning would have been done for the SC.

 

Yeah, a tune is almost a neccessity with FI. Perhaps they use the same program as the Lightning?
Or maybe Roush and Saleen have exclusive rights to mess with the "factory" tune for their S/C vehicles...

 

Roush has their own mapping for thier Stage III supercharged truck. comes with full FORD warranty. Roush does engine mapping for many OEM's that is one of their competencies.

Wait till you see what i will be driving soon ) ( hint, look above) )

See, I always thought that the Saleens were backed by Ford also, since they sold them as new Ford vehicles. Basically Saleen just buys a specific amount of VIN's and builds their versions and sells them through Ford Dealerships, but the warranties are strictly through Saleen. If Roush has Ford's backing that is a pretty big deal. Although I'm sure Jack has a little more money than Steve.

 

id love to test the saleen and roush on a track that would a fun day

 

I know this is a very old post, but I bought and still have one of these trucks. Mine is an 06, white with dual Shelby Blue racing stripes. It has the stock 5.4 3-valve Triton motor with A Roush Supercharger kit on it. The computer is a stock Ford unit with a Roush tune locked into it.

I bought it with 6,000 miles on it from the local Ford Dealer for I think 35K out the door. I was buying my wife a new 07 Mustang GT for her upcoming 50th and when we went to pick up the Stang, this was across the aisle. While I was looking over the Stang, she went across and started reading the window sticker of the truck out loud, "F-150 SuperCrew blah, blah, blah...Roush Supercharger"...What! Wait! What did you say?

I still have the truck to this day with no problems at 75,000 miles. I did add a bed topper, painted to match and adjustable air bags for the back so that I can pull my car hauler with buggy or Super 7 on it.

Lets see a picture of it!!

 

Don't know if copy and paste will work or if I need to upload to a pic hosting site and link it, but here goes the copy paste...

That didn't work, here goes a host on Supermotors.net




That worked. Here it is pulling my buggy, The Other Woman, to the 2008 National SHO convention in Washington State. I didn't have a Taurus SHO but my buggy does have one of the SHO's Yamaha motors in it. The V-6 Yamaha is turbo'd now and can be seen in some youtube videos if you search for SHO Offroad.

I just build the internet, I still don't know how to use it...

You can email it to me and I'll post it. I just sent an email to you with my email address.

 

Done, I think.
