    KB 1.7 9-psi Kit Owners...Performance Stats Please

    I have the full kit. I have dynoed the car 3 times on 3 different dynos and got the following results: KB tune. 401 hp 411 tq. SCT tune: 416hp 428 tq. SCT tune 2: 417 hp 434 tq. Mods are in sig. I was running very lean on the kb tune (13.5:1 at 4k rpm when we let go) so I decided to get...

    Need to maximize gas mileage

    Im running DD bullits with a 9 psi kb kit. I get about 17 mpg city driving and 19 mpg highway. I can't tell you what the diff from the DD bullits are but the extra rotational mass will chug up some for sure.

    mach 460 problem???

    Actually I think the setting is accessed by pressing the on-off switch for more than 5 seconds. I use a setting of 4 in my vert which is nice.. it will raise the volume when I increase speed to overcome the wind noise.

    Back from the track... And now in the 12 sec club!

    I'm trapping at 111-112 with bolt ons..... and thats in my heavy a$$ vert.... I do consider my KB to be bolt on bc thats what I did.. bolted it on... I had a bunch of passes where I could not get traction with my street tires and I kept on trapping @ 108 (2.2 60's)... that was in 90+* weather...

    Race Fuel???

    It does not help even if you have a power adder unless you have a different tune or a handheld tuner that can tweak your tune on site. It will add some extra protection against detonation if you are running a power adder. It is a waste of money to put it in a car with no power adder...

    How do you fix the rattle in the dash/middle vents?

    This can be easily fixed with a piece of tape. And I bet you that the piece will cost less than 50 bucks so if you are worried about voiding your warranty, just go to a dealership and order the part and install it yourself. It should not take more than 1 minute to install. Joe

    Taking a Vortech blown stang on a 1300mi trip what should I know

    Nothing. If the car is set up properly and runs well then it should handle like stock on the highway. It only starts to 'rumble' when you get on it... so if you are not sure about the tune n stuff then keep the rpm's down until you get it to a dyno.

    kb 1.7 supercharger

    Thats what I thought. I went for the 9 psi kit bc I knew that the 6er would be to slow... well the 9psi is too slow and now I wish I would have gone with forged internals... damn, gotta pull the engine this winter.... and buy a 14 psi pulley

    KB 9# w/stock gears?

    I've got stock gears. It gets the job done. You can spinn the tires at will. For a DD I would keep the stock gears, but I am going to see some track action so I am buying stickies and I will put in 3.73's when I rebuild the rear end.

    Went from 3rd to 2nd on the highway.....

    Dude, chill out!! He missed a shift.. so friggin what, alot of guys have done it. It has nothing to do with the fact if you can drive or not. You might have a sloppy shifter etc. If you ever tried to power shift, then stuff like this might happen. Take your crap to talk instead will you... if...

    Power Window Help..Window stuck down

    I had the same thing happen on my vert 2 weeks ago. I pulled the doorpanel and disconnected the 3 bolts that hold the motor in. One you have disconnected the motor you can manually push the window up. I then reconnected the motor to the harness and it worked again. I re-installed the motor...

    Dealers hassle you with the 3650 TSB?

    I did have some hassle before I got a dealer to do the TSB for me. 1st dealer replied that they could not duplicate. I told them that they need to drive it in the morning when it has been cold outside. I left the car with them for 2 days and then I called to inquire about it and they told me...

    Are Tokico Blues NOT the same as Mach 1's?

    I was told that the Tokico HP's (blues) were not the same as the Mach1's. But maybe I am a sucker and they wanted more of my $$. I am extremely happy with my setup though. I got the complete Tokico HP package with shocks, struts and springs. Car sits about 1.25" lower than stock. I'll try to...

    96 GT keep or get 99 GT

    Joel can drive his car, no doubt. But take a 99+ and give him similar mods and it will be in the 12's (4.10 gears, exhaust, CAI, pullies, shifter, suspension and DR's). So I would get a 99+ mustang over the older ones any day if we are comparing power & speed. Now if we start to talk about...

    96 GT keep or get 99 GT

    :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: A pre 99 mustang has less than 200 rwhp stock. A 99+ mustang has 220-230 rwhp stock. You claim to beat 'bolt on 99+'s'. Can we assume that they have a CAI, exhaust and pullies? That would put them close to 250. Now explain to me how you beat them most of the...

    radar detector hardwire

    I tapped into the map-lights power (on your rear view mirror). Don't do this though. Every time I open the door and the lights go on the detector goes out. I had to rewire it to the fuse box.... which I hate bc its a pain to be on your back working upside down....
