    kenne bell 1.7 question

    I've got the 6psi with 4:10s in the ass. 340rwhp...we gained 115rwhp I would do it again in a second. If you're contemplating new valve/cam covers...do it at the same time. Expect a future brake upgrade...you'll want one...and susp. upgrade if you haven't already.

    Borla side exit exhaust for 99+?

    Been thinking about swapping my Borla catback for the side exit kit (like the Cobra R) and putting on a V6 rear bumper. If anyone here has the kit...a couple of questions: 1) are the tips round or square? (pics would be sweet) 2) running a Bassani catted X...so I assume it's a straight...

    Help- GT going 13" Rotors

    Baer Eratadspeed rotors here, with Mach 1 calipers, Hawk pads and SS lines (wanted black calipers). You can use the stock GT calipers on the rear...but the fronts have to be swapped.

    Will a Steeda strut brace clear a K.b 1.7?

    I don't think it will....my buddy had to remove his. I never had one in the first place. If memory serves correct, the only STB that fits is one designed for the '03/04 Cobras...not sure which brand though....and not too sure that it would be a direct bolt-in for a GT either. I've more or...

    Functional Hood Scoop

    The show cars I'm talking about drive dude! I've done 4-5hr long distance cruises with them...to out of town shows...and lots of them go from Toronto to Norwalk...Woodward...out to Montreal...etc. And as I said...many are daily drivers. Poor quality and/or poorly maintained paint will...

    Functional Hood Scoop

    Go ask a Ford engineer! :rolleyes: It's a fuggin tactic that the Sales dept made up (re: the fire blanket BS). Typical crap that they like to spew to convince the customer that "the car will save you". As for the paint fading...that's funny...I hang with some of the nicest show Stangs...

    Hood Scoop

    '99 is not as tall and more squared off - 2 bolts '01+ is taller and more rounded - 12 bolts (I think)

    Functional Hood Scoop

    The material under the hood = for absorbing sound It is NOT any sort of fire blanket...and it does NOT stop engine heat from making your paint peel. If anyone spews that garbage with confidence...they're likely in a showroom trying to sell you the car. Go park a black car out in the sun...

    KB versus Novi 2000 - which is better for cold weather, cold startups?

    If you're going with the 2.2...better get out the $$$ and do the internals at the same time....you'll need an aftermarket hood too. Saw a 2.2 or a 2.4 on an '03/04 Cobra recently...it's a big mofo...makes my 1.7 look tiny :nice:

    KB versus Novi 2000 - which is better for cold weather, cold startups?

    We've got a guy up here in the Niagara region that runs his intercooled KB 24/7. Beats the ever-loving $h!t out of his ride...never heard him complain. She's a daily driver for him...and that's all. My car won't leave the garage if there's a chance of rain...and she's stored from November...

    Yup...I agree. Gumbanger comvinced me...my car is a complete dog. I got totally ripped off. Man...I'm so pi$$ed that I waisted all that damn money. :rolleyes: Oh well...I guess I'll start selling all the stuff off now...since I can't sleep with the thought that I could've got 40 more hp...

    KB 6psi is $3800...that's $600 And yes...IMO the new intake is worth it.

    Price of the cooler (I think around $1000)..and a day in the shop. You have to pull the blower off to install the cooler.

    ^^^^ What Gumbanger conveniently leaves out in his indepth bag of wind is the old adage: "you get what you pay for". A couple of things to remember if your looking at the price of the KenneBell kit: 1) it comes with injectors 2) it comes with a new aluminum intake manifold Not...

    Go read your first post again bud. I didn't see where you said it was such a great blower...just pretty much what a waste of time it is to go with 6psi. I've done my research, and I'm sure Cronin has too...people don't generally drop large on a set up without knowing the pros and cons...

    Keep on flapping your gums...the point of my post was to point out that you have no class. You didn't come into the thread to say congrats...you basically came in and told the guy he's doing it wrong and said he wasted his money.
