Hi all, I currently have a roush supercharger on my truck and am looking at taking it off and going back to stock. Does anyone know how I can get my computer back to stock? Also what could I ask for it all I am not sure it has 30k on the charger and I have a tuner for it. If anyone could help that would be great.

Question... why are you wanting to go back to stock?

If you need it returned to stock tuning, I can help you, but its going to require that you get an SCT tuner to do it. PM me if you're interested in details.

I am also curious as to why you would want it removed?

I had my fun with it and now I am working on a drag car and need the truck to tow an 24' enclosed trailer and with the supercharger they say towing capacity is cut in half. I want to use the money from the supercharger for my motor for my car. I have someone who is interested in it but wanted to find out what i had to do to get my computer back to stock

I talked to roush and they keep telling me the factory tow rating stays in effect with the roush tune..

If you are selling it for money, that is one thing. But I don't see how a properly tuned truck with a supercharger on it would cut the towing capacity in half. Now under heavy load you would have to pay attention to your gauges, and intake temps would be nice to see, but like I qualified my statement earlier with, a properly tuned truck would monitor all that and decrease timing and what not if the IAT's got to high.

Ok, im not sure how you found that out about cuting it in half, i think it is time and a half. We have a roush charged f150, it out towes my f250 with a 460 and even though its almost sitting on the frame it can haul the same weight as our 08' 250 with a v10, and get better milage. Im just not seeing how a roots style blower can do anything but add to the towing because of the extra hp and tourque.

Originally Roush cut the ratings in half. From talking to an insider its because they didn't actually test/qualify it for higher ratings so they just cut it in half to be on the safe side. Load goes up at any given RPM when towing so it can have an impact with the blower if its not tuned with this in mind.
