i want ot buy the kenne bell 1500 supercharger for my 94 gt. what things will i have to buy to set this up completly, and will i have to do anything else to my engine, my engine now is stock but i would plan on getting a new lower manifold if i got this supercharger. the supercharger i want is the one with lower boost, i heard if your engine is stock it isnt good to run high boost. but would i have to change anything with my timing or ignition or fuel or anything like that.

heres what i want: http://www.kennebell.net/superchargers/ford/mustang50/mustang50.htm

also let me know if there is anything better out there or any better deals. thanks

I took care of the double thread.

The KB 1500 can be used with a stock lower intake. You should put in at least 36# injectors, 255 LPH fuel pump, MSD ignition box (preferrably BTM combo), MSD blaster coil, MSD 8.5 plug wires, Regap the plugs at .045. Might look into a larger mass air since your changing injectors. You can find most of this in the classifieds if on a budget.

You don't HAVE to have it, but its a much better option than running the KB on 19lb injectors and an FMU. My cousin ran his this way for a while, then switched to 30lb injectors and ditched the fmu... he then added heads and cam and swapped to 42lb injectors. He had a problem with the car falling on its face between shifts due to excessive fuel pressure. Contact Don at:
http://www.lasotaracing.com/ for your KB questions and tuning issues. He post on here.

i would not worry anbout running a lot of boost on a stock motor i run 15lbs on mine not all the time but when the belt is good and tight . but as far as fuel goes you can never have enough we dynoed 9 cars one day and fuel was a problem on all but 2 blown cars you won't regret getting bigger injectors and pumps when you are running boost ,it just allows you to make more power and be safe.

Well I'm sure you have insurance on the car right? This is the same thing. If you go lean with boost it's not exactly pretty. I would say it's required to change the injectors and pump when having boost.

im thinking the same thing as this guy with the exact same kenne bell parts. But i have a cobro with 24's injectors and a 75mm MAF. Do u think i would need to swap these out running about 9psi? I also have a 255 intank pump. I have an adjustable Fuel pressure regulator, so i think i could toy with that mabey too.

for 9psi 30# are the min.....and you could easily run 42's and never need to change your injectors agian just tune the ful out, if you run a FMU your car will mostlikely ping on the downshift becuase the blower is still makeing boost and there isn't any fuel. You can get 42's and a MAF used for 350ish most of the time in the classifiieds and it's somthing you should do if you plan on running boost
