I will post the number tomorrow. Also, I have been trying to post some pictures from the my install and lowering, could anyone help me do this. Thanks.
oh god, don't start that again! LOL340.29m/s said:I can host the pictures for you and then post them (PM me for e-mail addy)
Hope to see some good numbers with the "slow at the track" KB
raykrv6a said:N/A GT's can break into the 12's with a stock engine, a little setup work and working on the driving skills. The 6 psi KB should get him into the 12's around 108-109 in the quarter. I wouldn't call that slow, plus he has all that torque for a daily driver. I alway's thought KB's looked hotter then a Vortech or Novi anyways.
If he wants, he can get a set of streetable cams that will get him another 40-50 hp with that blower and sound hot.
rpburnette said:I am trying to lay the ground work(suspension mostly) for a 6 psi KB, hopefully in about a year from now. What are the cam options for the 6 psi kit. Mine is a daily driver, so mild cams would be the option for me. Are the cams custom ground, or just off the shelf. Also, would they work in a n/a car until I got the KB.
Thanks
prsrizdgt said:What kinda numbers should we see ya think? 350rwhp or so?
BTW, What injectors and MAF are you running?
Boost-s-pump was a breeze (probably the easiest thing to do) and the gauges were easy, just took a little time running all the hoses and lines. ( I ran them in the drivers side fender and then in the wiring harness for the door, just cut a small slit in the bottom). Good luck and make sure you clean the terminals in the computer really really good.2000 4.6 said:Can't wait to see your results and pictures.
I started my installation yesterday. I am on step 60 of 270...I am at the end of the dissasembly process. Now it is time to put the KB on. How hard was the boost a pump install? What about the guages, were those hard to install?
Dan_Soprano said:01 GT's + KB = trouble and disappoitment because of the 01 head casting problem. TRUST ME I KNOW!! KB pulls some timing off for the 01 cars because of the slightly higher compression, so expect to be lower then the advertised #'s. Thats the main reason I traded my 01 in on an 04 Cobra.
@ 9PSI IC, with normal mode, Flowmasters was 363rwhp, 380rwtqmrpositraction said:Did you have any number (Dyno, track times) that you would like to share. They only back the timing a total of 6 deg. only 1 more deg than what they sell with the normal kit (from what I understand), and the higher compression will make up for some of the power lost by retarding the timing. After the install I started running numbers and different combinations. The lowest I could see would be 300 rwhp (that would suck) and the highest I should see would be 345 rwhp. After talking to Ken at Kenne Bell he looked at my chip program and said that I should see around ~330 rwhp, and I could easily move up to 7 psi (even 8 psi w/ out intercooler if I could get high enough octane). If numbers are low, I may look into a different tune and go w/ 11.7:1 or 11.8:1 A/R ratio, mine came with 10.8:1 to 11.2:1 from KB, I think it is a little rich but I would rather have a safe tune that a really lean tune.
Dan_Soprano said:@ 9PSI IC, with normal mode, Flowmasters was 363rwhp, 380rwtq
same boost shootout mode with Magnapacs= 386rwhp, 399rwtq
10 psi, shootout mode, magnapacs = 395rwhp, 419 rwtq.
As you see, the magnapacs made a HUGE difference, but @ 10# I was still not at what other year cars were at with 9# with the regular mode.
p.s. I also had all the options i.e. big tube, 90mm MAF, 70mm TB.
p.s.s. I spent HOURS on the phone and email with Ken, he's the best. He did everything in his power to try to get my #'s up there. the 01 just didn't like boost.
Not really sure to tell you the truth. I never tried it with the original intake. I'd guess anywhere between 5-15 hp.mrpositraction said:How much hp would you attribute to the Bid tube kit, 90mm MAF, and 70mm TB, this is what I plan to do if number are low.
