    Kenne Bell or NOT? What to buy

    One reason is that Vortech and ATI have been around alot longer than Kenne Bell. And number 2 Kenne Bell still can not top the top dawgs when it comes to racing. Another reason is that many find Kenne Bell to be outrageously priced. Generally, people feel that they can get superior...

    Which combo would win a race?

    Dude, Thumper says his heads on a 347 goes 11's. So whats the predicament? Build that 347!

    347 for a 4x4?

    Id run, and actually am running, a 351 in a truck. They are more durable and in the offroad world, durability is #1, then comes other things.

    Damn! Magnaflow X pipe does not fit!

    Look guys. Tell me Im not crazy. That is an inch difference! My Bassani was not even a little off, it was EXACT! If it goes on my car it will go on perfect, or it will be stock, especially for this money. A big company like Magnaflow not making the part to spec, is not acceptable.

    Damn! Magnaflow X pipe does not fit!

    UPDATE Talked to a Danny at Magnaflow who is the Mustang technician. Told him my problem and he told me this: "not to insult your mechanical ability or anything, but you need to take this into a shop and have it done". He told me that the X pipe must be forced onto the header flanges, then...

    Kenne Bell or NOT? What to buy

    No, only roots blowers lose power on the top end. KB is a twin screw so they dont lose any at top either. They are as efficient as any centrifugal blower on the top end.

    Kenne Bell or NOT? What to buy

    You would make a big mistake passing up a 1500 for $1500. KB makes a big difference on your 5.0 it will feel like a 351w when you are done. Adding heads & cam will make everything better.

    mechanical vs. electric gauges?

    The isolators are not that accurate I heard. Plus you spend $100 for the isolater and $50 for the gauge itself. You might as well just spend $180 for the electronic fuel pressure gauge. Thats what I have in my dash and its very accurate, I love that thing. They are easy to hook up to. For...

    Damn! Magnaflow X pipe does not fit!

    No, it has a smog tube welded in the middle like the stock H pipe does. Judging by the responses it sounds like I have to take this thing back. :notnice:

    Thinking about going with a supercharger

    Pretty common, and alot of people like that crap. I think it sounds like ass too. Those are the Vortech A and S trims. 90's technology at its finest. Avoid those. Just be done with it and get a N2k. Last blower you will ever have to buy. :nice:

    Thinking about going with a supercharger

    NOVI has a $100 rebate also, so keep that in mind. Its all what you want from the car. That price on the S trim is good, its even better if that price is for an SQ trim. If you can swing the N2k, then go for it. Basically, buy the best blower you can. Trust me, you will appreciate that...

    Damn! Magnaflow X pipe does not fit!

    Where the collectors connect to the headers is much too narrow. Id say it is about the total of an inch too close together. The pipes at the front end of the X need to be moved outward.

    Damn! Magnaflow X pipe does not fit!

    Anybody have this problem? Good thing I live near by. Now I have to un-install the X pipe and put it in my truck and drive it back to Magnaflow HQ. My Bassani X pipe that I sold to Goldmember fit much better. Now I feel dumb for making a trade like that...and it cost me so much...

    What x-pipe has the best sound?

    Thanks for the compliments bro. I hope you enjoy your new part. Let us know how it went.

    What x-pipe has the best sound?

    Thats just what Ive heard. And all the people saying x-pipes sound like crap are running flows. Ive never heard a magnaflow person say an x pipe sounds crappy. I watched the video and I thought the flows sounded good. I dunno, all I know is my setup sounds good. :shrug:

    Those of you with 130 AMP alternator: How many volts does your dash read?

    Yup. My digital gauge read 14.5v. Anything over 15v and your car is broken.

    Those of you with 130 AMP alternator: How many volts does your dash read?

    The kit I got from PA performance says to do this, and I trusted them. Why would they reccomend such a thing?? :shrug:

    What x-pipe has the best sound?

    Check your PM man. I need your email address.

    What x-pipe has the best sound?

    I see you got Flowmasters in your sig. Sounding crappy is expected with those things. X-pipes are designed for straight thru muffs, not Flows.

    Tweecer guys, and other tuning gurus. Important question.

    Welp, I soldered and heat shrinked the wires. Truck is going to hit the dyno on Monday morning, so well see what happens.
