Kenne Bell FTW!

Okay, so i'm about to hunker down and save all my money so I can get a KB for my stang. My question is though, what is a safe psi to run on my stock block?

 

[bentley429]

Do some research about superchargers. Boost doesn't crack the block.

 

[TokyoJoe]

KB on the fox?

 

[foxmustangman]

Si!

No, but I'm saying everything is stock. Heads, exhaust manifolds, intake. EVERYTHING.

 

[87foxstang]

I would say 5-6 is safe. All those stock pieces are really going to bottle neck and rob you of power

 

[foxmustangman]

The lowest you can get is 6 psi.

KBs for fox's suck...

They are nothing like a KB for a new Cobra if thats your thinking.

Now don't get me wrong they will still make power, but your limited with it. If your content with so so power, and good torque then it might be perfect for you.

why would u want to put a blower on a completely stock engine? why not save up for a h/c/i then a blower later so you can run more boost? to me it sounds pointless

^^^^^^
Perhaps simplicity and more power?

if your gonna do it, might as well do it right

not everyone is made of money. Turbo guys are going way fast on stock HCI + boost.

I personally wouldnt drop the cash for the KB, Id go centrifugal.

 

[ryan218]

save up 1,200-1,500 and you can find a S-Trim on a good day with everything you will need.

I know this car is carbuerated, but would a twin screw for my car surge? I think it only happens on carbuerated engines...correct me if I'm wrong. I hate it when superchargers surge like this.

Kenne Bells are alot of fun on a street car. But that being said, for the $3500 you are going to spend you could have a healthy motor that will make more power than your stocker with a KB on it. Plus you honestly need some other mods to your car before you go that route. Supporting parts for the blower and the added power

 

[foxmustangman]

like what?

 

[RS200]

Make a junkyard twin turbo setup. More power, less money and you'll get great satisfaction from knowing that you built it yourself.

thank you finally somebody agrees with me

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

I'd have to agree with 25th. They aren't like the 03-04 Cobra's you see on the web. I would get a Vortec and run 8-10lbs. 8-10lbs and a GOOD tune from a dyno...not a handheld will make your car RUN!! Even a good set of HCI stuff will make good power. Most fox guys on stock motors that have left my tuners dyno make about 300RWHP with either setup. And over 400 with both. Boost doesn't break pistons, poor fuel and improper tuning does!

 

[88-378]

KB's are the best for a fun street stang. They are perfectly fine on a 5.0, they won't make as much power as say a Cobra like 25th said, but it will really be fun.

You should however port your heads with bigger valves, see thumper for that and you need to upgrade the fuel pump, injectors and exhaust. the stock cam is really good with a KB.
