new kenne bell mammoth super charger

[DrSmith]

Hey dudes, have you seen this? I didn't know and still don't know anything about it. I have been wondering which to go with, now I see this. I'll wait and see it tested in one of the several mags I subscribe to, but let me know what you think. Also, what good shops are there on the east coast? I'm in Portland Maine. I will probably wait till next spring, as my super charger or new truck fund just went into a new flippin septic system.
thanks dudes (and dudettes to be pc)
Doc

They are selling upgrades for the regular kits also. The mammoth kit has better intake tube and manifold. You will need a forged bottom end for that kit, as it will put you way over 500 RWHP.

ok, this is what I was wondering. I thought it would need a beefier bottom end, they seem to imply that you wouldn't need it. I am really not having fun picking up a super charger...way too many choices. I am between the whipple and kenne bell, I have heard great things about both of them.
Thanks,
Doc

The new Roush TVS blower just went on sale so you can add that to your possible choices.

I was interested by the New Mammoth ad also.
I beleive their Ad in 5.0 Mag states stk 4.6 including cams, exhaust, etc???

Is that possible??

I know blow by racing put the mammoth, 2.8L blower, on a forged stroker with ported heads and cams. With a 2 1/2" exhaust and a ford 9" rear end they made something like 750 RWHP at 17 PSI, though they did have to rev it to 7k to get those numbers.

This is the way to go, IMO. I'm making 463 rwhp with Steeda UDPs running 8.5 lbs of boost at peak. Below ~4,000 I'm only making around 7 psi. The Roush TVS has huge potential with more boost.

Last year I went with the Whipple HO on my stock 4.6. It's lots of fun but, I've just ordered a forged stroker with Stage III CNC ported heads, oversized SS/Inconel valves, hi-perf valve springs, Comp stage II blower grind cams, Kooks headers and X-pipe, Steeda 10-rib blower drive, 16 psi pulley, Whipple ported intake elbow and Whipple monoblade throttle body.

We'll see what kind of HP this setup will make in about a month. I'm also changing the driveline to a McLeod Street Twin clutch, Tremec TR-6060 six-speed tranny, aluminum 1-piece driveshaft, 3.73 gears, carbon fibre trac loc clutches, and adding a diff girdle.

I'm upgrading the suspension to Steeda pieces with Tokico D-Specs and the brakes to Baer 14" rotors with 6-piston calipers.

When all the parts arrive, I'll do a build thread with pics etc. It's going to be an interesting month.

Clearly this economy does not affect everyone.

Wow, what a list of go-fast goodies!! Ought to be a monster...

Oh it does, just not as much as other people !!

I agonized for a long time over where to draw the line on mods this year given the economy. I'm not wealthy but have a job that's relatively safe so right or wrong I'm going ahead with the next stage of the build anyway.

Man, I wish I could pi$$ away that kinda coin on my ride. If you don't mind me asking: WTF do you do for a living to afford all of that???
