LIVONIA, Mich. – ROUSH® has long been considered as Detroit's foremost Tier 1 advanced powertrain engineering company and well known for producing massive horsepower from gasoline engines.  Now this same company has turned their resources towards helping fleet customers save money and reduce greenhouse gasses by utilizing propane as a fuel.

Hot on the heels of the successful launch of the ROUSH® Liquid Propane Injected F-150, a fully-assembled and government-certified pickup truck, comes news that the company is offering a full conversion kit to transform any 2007.5 or 2008 gasoline-powered 5.4 liter, V8 engine into one that runs on propane with no loss of horsepower, torque or towing capacity.

With an estimated eight-hour install time, fleet customers can be collecting the benefits of using propane – lower fuel pricing per gallon and much lower emissions.  This ROUSH® Liquid Propane Injection Kit will be available in September through Ford dealers and fleet companies and has a suggested retail price of $8,595.00.  And with propane costing up to $1.35 less per gallon on average than gasoline, it won't take long for the ROUSH® propane conversion kit to pay for itself – and that's before the tax credits are taken into account for using propane as an alternative fuel.

The complete conversion kit includes a new fuel tank with multi-valve fuel pump, stainless steel fuel lines, billet aluminum fuel rails, an upgraded custom ROUSH® PCM calibration, and all necessary wiring, hardware and instructions for install.

"The propane infrastructure is already well-entrenched and within just a few hours a customer can convert their F-150 pickup to run on this affordable alternative fuel," said Jack Roush.  "Once installed, they will notice no difference in the way the truck runs, the power or payload capacity, yet they can reap the benefits of a lower fuel cost and reduced emissions, both topics that are at the top of mind for fleet owners."

According to research provided by the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC), propane is the most widely-used alternative fuel today, with more than 10 million vehicles around the world using it as a fuel.  Operating costs typically range from five to 30 percent less than those of a gasoline-powered fleet, and on average create 20 percent less nitrous oxide, up to 60 percent less carbon monoxide and fewer particulate emissions.

Based in Livonia, Mich., "The Art of Performance Engineering" takes place at ROUSH® Performance.  To get a look behind the scenes at what goes on at ROUSH® and how the vehicles are designed, manufactured and produced logon to www.ROUSHtv.com.  In addition to the Stage 1TM, Stage 2TM and Stage 3TM Ford Mustang and F-150 styling, handling and performance upgrades, a complete line of performance parts and crate engines are offered.  For more information see your local ROUSH® dealer, visit www.ROUSHperformance.com or telephone toll-free (800) 59-ROUSH.

LIVONIA, Mich. – True performance drivers want to know exactly what is going on with their vehicle at all times, but much of this detailed information is typically only available through supplemental gauges.  But at a minimum, adding an accessory gauge increases clutter and decreases visibility around the dashboard, and typically requires some form of cutting or drilling into your valuable vehicle.

The new ROUSH® Vent Gauge Pod is cleverly designed to integrate in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) vent of any 2005-2008 Ford Mustang (including the Shelby GT500) or 2004-2008 Ford F-150 truck.  Installation is simple – just remove the HVAC air louvers by gently pulling outwards to remove.  The ROUSH® Vent Gauge Pod then replaces these louvers with no cutting, drilling, or trimming required.  Installation time is just minutes.

Those concerned that the ROUSH® Vent Gauge Pod will obstruct the air through the system can rest assured that there is no significant loss of air flow for the cooling and heating functions of either the Mustang or F-150.

The ROUSH® Vent Pod Gauge (part number 403840) carries a suggested retail price of $29.99 and will fit any standard 2-1/16 inch gauge (not included).  The unit is low profile and designed to match the interior of the vehicle.

"This is such a simple idea and gives a clean and professional looking installation, and I am really proud to say that the ROUSH® Vent Pod Gauge was dreamed up and created by one of our engineers during his free time," said Jack Roush.  "I think this is a perfect example of how our employees are thinking about innovative ways to continue improving the driving experience virtually 24 hours a day."

For more information on the new ROUSH® Vent Pod Gauge, or to see the complete line of styling, handling and performance parts ROUSH® offers for the Ford Mustang and F-150, visit www.ROUSHperformance.com.

LIVONIA, Mich. – Apparently Valvoline recently commissioned "The Great American Pony Car Shootout" which pitted a ROUSH® 427RTM against a Saleen S281.

The cars were put through a full battery of tests, including 0-100-0 mph to check acceleration and braking, a slalom course, and hot laps around Thunder Hill Raceway.  The two Mustangs came from the showroom at Grand Prairie Ford in Texas.

As the test driver Derek Hill said, the goal was to determine "Which one is a thoroughbred and which one will go to the glue factory." Watch the video to learn which is which.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – For a spell, it looked like the Rehagen Racing team would finish one-two in the Fresh From Florida 200, the season-opening event on the Grand-Am KONI Challenge Series.  Hugh Plumb in the No. 60 Mustang and Dean Martin in the No. 59 ROUSH®/Valvoline Mustang were running nose-to-tail in the top spots at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway with a nearly ten second lead over the third place car.

Unfortunately, miscommunication and confusion during a late pit stop dropped both cars back in the field with precious few minutes remaining in the three-hour race to make up the ground.  By the time the checkered flag flew on the three-hour event, Plumb (with co-driver Mike Canney) finished sixth while Martin was able to make a last lap pass and will be credited with Jack Roush, Jr. for a tenth place finish.

"One mistake got us today," said a dejected Roush who started the No. 59 ROUSH®/Valvoline Mustang in 11th position, his career-best.  "It looked like we had a real chance for a win today. We'll get it figured out though."

Both cars led the race at various points; Plumb led a total of 20 laps, Martin was at the point for 10 laps, and Roush led the field around the 3.56-mile stadium road course for two laps.  This event combined both the Grand Sport (GS) and Street Tuner (ST) classes of the KONI Challenge on the racetrack simultaneously so making your way through traffic would prove crucial to a successful finish as there were 89 cars competing in the race.

"The racing was really intense out there," Roush said after the event.  "I expected it to be a real meat-grinder with all the cars on the track and am a little surprised that there were not more accidents.  It was intense for sure, but not as bad as I had anticipated that it would be."

As a side note, this event marked the first time that motorsports legend and NASCAR team owner Jack Roush had the opportunity to watch his son compete in person in the professional ranks of the KONI Challenge Series.

The No. 59 Ford Mustang, based out of the Rehagen Racing shop in Livonia, Mich., carries sponsorship from ROUSH® Performance, Valvoline, Simply Wow and Battery Brain.  In 2006, this was the highest-finishing Mustang in the series.

The Fresh From Florida 200 was taped for a Saturday, February 2 broadcast on SPEED Channel at 8 p.m. (Eastern).  The next event on the KONI Challenge schedule will take place at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Conn., on May 26-28.
