I will likely purchase the intercooled 9# Kenne Bell. With a larger throttle body, X-pipe, high flow cats, and BBK long headers (and American thunder cat back), I think I can beat those numbers, but we'll see...maybe.

By the way, how does that compare with a stock Cobra? My goal has always been to be able to smoke a stock Cobra. I'll be happy with that.

Congratulations,
Andy

Sounds good except there is no 9 pound kit. It originally was advertised as 9pound intercooled but now they are sold with whatever pulley you select. Basically your buying a 1.7L intercooled for 4899 or non-intercooled for 3799 and you choose the pulley you get with it...

well the 03 cobras kit uses kenne bell (autorotor) 2.2L...all you need is the ability to bolt it up.

basically with 2.2L's you'll have more boost potential.

Since you didn't post yours, here is my dyno from last month. Your dyno is probably very similar!

I say you get longtubes and an Off Road X-Pipe next, that should be good for at least 30rwhp. Nice Numbers, very impressive.

Yes, that was me. Apex did the install as well, their first KB install. They did a great job. Then they just run the dyno pulls without changing any of the tuning from KB.

the 1.7L will be able to do about 17-18 psi according to KB. The 2.2L as far as i know hasn't been pushed past 27 psi but it was still pushing to redline which indicates there is still a little more to go. Id guess about 30 psi and the blower will be out of breath.
