Supercharged and winch

[oplersx]

To the supercharged owners, can you still fit a winch behind stock bumper? Does the radiator get in the way?

To be specific, I am looking at the Roush phase2 kit now. Have the smittybilt x20 12000lb installed behind stock bumper, really wants to keep it!

It depends on what size of Heat Exchanger you're going to order with the Stage 2 Roush.
Stage 2 is just a SC pulley, belt and different Tune
Even with Roush's standard HE, you'll probably have to relocate the control unit off the winch, using a remote relocating kit.

Your best bet is look at new bumpers especially designed for winches or you can do what some are doing.
Fabircate or order the kit for the winch to allow you yo use the tow hitch receptical and fab up one tow hitch for the front.

I like the idea of removing the weight off the front, don't forget you will be adding another 200 to 250 lbs. of SC stuff depending on HE size.
Plus the ability of moving the winch to the back tow hitch to pull you back out without using a bunch of snatch blocks and pulleys. And you store it in the bed protecting it for years to come.

P.S. Get the 700+ HP Whipple!!!

Just the Roush phase2 kit.. not sure what kind of HE comes with... cannot find a clear photo online, but might be a very tight fit if even possible with a winch installed.

Any aftermarket HEs that is much smaller but still efficient enough?

Well you sure could measure out an aftermarket cooler to fit.
Just keep in mind the larger the HE the more HP.
