Good to hear you had a great tripand I think I know who tim is referring to about the 600rwhp car that crashed
hotmustang331 said:Well he was telling me that he PERSONALLY like the KBs the best...he said the TTs are wicked but they are very hard to control and the car just squats all the way down the track and is more difficult to control (1000hp one). He was also saying that he loved the Kbs because it feels like your driving around a 500CID BB car and not a 4.6 lol, and when you crack the throttle you instantly have 400RWTQ at your disposal. The power comes on instantly but is easy to control as it stays about the same pull all the way through the RPM range, the turbos just keep pulling and you really cant get used to the power.
Basically this guy has driven EVERY setup imaginable and he says that the KBs provide the most fun and he would rather drive one of those. Ill take the mans advice, he knows what he is talking about....and NOW all i want is 500RWHP. The 1.7 will provide that and I can get full boost anytime I want it W/O waiting for spoolup and then a sudden surge of power a few seconds later...it comes in instantly so i know how and when to react to it..= easier/safer to control.
And the other thing that turned me away from my 600RWHP goal is that he said generally you will spend around 30 thousand dollars by the time you build the motor, by the FI, buy new tranny, build rearend, setup full new suspension, weld torque boxes, strengthen the chasis, get full roll cage, get all the gauges ect... Those are the other reasons lol.
We have built and tuned around 20-30 KB cars.I like the KB as a power adder over any other cars we build.o3redfire said:It was interesting to find out after going to the MPH website and searching through his cars tunes and rwhp numbers, that out of 117 posts there were only 2 KB cars......
If I was starting over, I would go with a KB.cobra killer said:We have built and tuned around 20-30 KB cars.I like the KB as a power adder over any other cars we build.

hotmustang331 said:Well here is the deal...the KB is infact pulling just as hear or harder then the centri at or past the 1/8...but there is no "increase" and you get used to the pull. The KB will pull like the centris peak...but ALL the time lol. You just get used to it and it feels flat due to the flat torque curve.
Thanks for the reply, do you have any 1.7 KB's running on the 14lb pulley, what kind of numbers, thanks again !cobra killer said:We have built and tuned around 20-30 KB cars.I like the KB as a power adder over any other cars we build.
Blown00GTAuto said:Killer, I'm taking your statement to mean you prefer KB's but not that you're saying they're superior.
Why is that?
Blown00GTAuto said:I think if this was the case GI Joe would have stated it that way. He's speaking from plenty of actual experience with both types of setups, which is not something most of us can do.
