Tiger;

Sorry to hear of losing the motor,hate to see anyone lose a motor,especailly a high dollar item like a Roush motor......... if it "blew a rod out" it could be as simple as a rod bolt failure...........with as many parts and peices in any internal combustion engine,it's a wonder they last as long as they do,any little part can be defective without anyone every knowing and if and when it fails,things usually go to hell in a hand basket real quick...........

With that said,I'm sure the warranty on your car from Superformance would only apply to the car itself,and the warranty for the engine would lie with Roush,I would give them a call and report what happened and see what they come up with,but do not be surprised if they tell you you have no warranty due to your "racing adventures"..........

In all honesty,I'm surprised they sell these motors with any warranty at all,knowing what type of vehicles they are going to go into and what kind of use/abuse most will put these motors thru,I have a neighbor with a supercharged 04 Mustang GT and he is on his third motor,he has more money than brains and can brake a railroad track with a raw egg any day of the week........

I think now it's all up to Roush to decide what if anything they will do,I think they should at least take the motor apart to try to determine the cause of the engine failure and go from there................
