kb 1.7 supercharger

[rrl]

i would like your guys opinion as to how well the stock internals would hold up to the kb 1.7 intercooled or non intercooled ? i was thinking of getting one but don't know which one.my stang has 10k miles on it and i don't have the cash to rebuild the lower end with forged rods,crank etc.its a 02 gt 5spd w / 3:73 gears.i just want a quick car for the street.no track use as of yet.

go with the 1.7 intercooled kit. the 6# non I/C kit will be nice at first, but you will want more soon. trust me. With a good tune and proper maintenanace and good driving habits, your motor will live a long, health life.

Go with the 9# version. You WILL want more if you go with the 6#. Just take it to the dyno and check the a/f to make sure its safe and you should be good to go.

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

I'm starting to feel the same now.

Ah well, I still can't complain.

Estimates with 20 psi producing an easy 850HP on this motor which utilizes 60lb injectors, AFR heads and cams and FAST throttle body.

WOW

Mmm, could be worse. I could still have 205hp/238tq. *thinks of days my car was bone stock*
