_StangGT__ said:This thread even with the pissing contest was still a good read, personnaly from what I've heard I'd go with the centri blower just because I better like a car that pulls in the top-end. That mongoose kit is very, very tempting, would you guys recommend putting that kit on a car that has 50k miles on it ? Also how much is it to build the engine to take the power ?

For my parts, if I were to build a mighty strip machine, I would go to centri or turbobecause you're always on the mid to high range so you get the boost you need plus you save some gas going to the track cause you stay out of the boost.
MustHang said:On the other hand, if playing with import on stop light is your only concern(which looks like an 1/8th mile) then go on the KB or twin screw.
02LaserRed2V said:KB kicks ass in the 1/4 mile as well. I don't see where ppl get the impression that KB has no top end power. Most of these ppl who say that usually has never driven a twin screw or roots car anyways. Tq curve is so flat, you get the impression the car isn't pulling as hard on upper rpms, even though it still is..
In the end, it's the overall setup (tranny, suspension, tires, etc.) that determines if your car can be a strong 1/4 runner. Not just the blower itself.
my 2 cents.

Yeah it feels like it pulls on the top end, because it doesn't pull anywhere else other than in the top-end...compared to a N/A stock GT...
Once you realize the KB pulls everywhere including top-end...and always more than the centri (a 9psi centri average 360~390rwhp compared to over 400rwhp for 9psi KB).
So you may not feel that top-end rush, because it's the rush all the time, and more pull than a centri will ever give you at any rpm.
You can always argue, all it takes is to drive both to be convinced.
Again we compare apples to apples, a 9psi blower on stock block, nothing else.
For the general 4.6L enthusiast, the 1.7L will be more than enough blower. With supporting mods and some half-gas they'll make in the 500rwhp neighbourhood. For those who absolutely must have the best KB has to offer and have the dough to match their desire, the 2.2L is the way to go and will support just over 700rwhp.03 Black GT said:which exact model of kenne bell is the best possible? On a mustang of course
Gearbanger 101 said:Why do you feel the need to quote every single sentence a person writes down, then dance around the subject while trying to make it look as though you've made a point and to then finally pick on someone’s spelling when you're point has been beaten? Maybe you should go back and take a look at a few of your own spelling and grammatical errors before criticizing others? If you can't come up with an original though, that's alright, but there's no need to get desperate. Better be nice, or I'll sick tomustang on you!

Again, youre paying over 5500 for looks.
That sucks.
