I know Noong did for a while. Has anyone else had one?

I'd like some opinions on it.

Thanks,
Gabe

Jump on the turbo bandwagon! Turbo = FREE Power + full boost at low RPM!

KB would be a nice easy install though

On a fox body yeah, but I can't think of any 94-95 cars that have them on. I have a 5.0 mag from a couple yrs back that had a 94 screaming yellow GT with a twin screw on it. It was a 331 that made 5 lbs of boost on pump gas which put 416 and 430 numbers on the dyno.

the david, A twin screw will give you full boost at low RPM's as well. They begin to fall off as the RPM range gets higher unlike a centrifical blower.

I just got my Cartech Turbo running smoothly. I am glad the install is over and I can do the finishing touches. I just addded another Chrome Yellow turbo 94 in Oregon.

Power is AWESOME.

I have a Kenne Bell 2.2 that I have installed on my 94 Cobra and am still in the process of working out the bugs.
I also still need to get it to a dyno and get a chip burned to finish the install.
Would like to find one close that knows Kenne Bells and SN95's, there are a few things you need to setup correct when running a K/B

Not quite true. Unless you undersize the blower (i.e. getting a KB1000 for a H/C/I 5.0L), a KB will make constant boost until redline.

I think a KB would be a good choice for a stock motored car.

With a H/C/I car, I think it would be annoying to drive on the street because traction would be a distant memory. If you primarily care about drag racing and plan to do so on sticky tires, I think it's a great idea.

I know I simply repeat myself on this, but if your car is primarily a street car there is a point where a ****load of power can get annoying. Case in point, my 383 rwhp 3000 lb LX losing to a stock talon because my car wouldn't even come close to hooking until 3rd gear.

However, full time drag radials cured that problem.
