well, how much power are you looking for and at what rpm do you want it? the two blowers produce very different powerbands.

MY 5.0 stang had a paxton on it and I loved it and she was great at the strip.

My 03 cobra still has the stock eaton on it, and is slower in the quarter than my previous 5.0 stang but its 10 times more fun to drive around town. I cant imagine what it would be like with a kenne bell.

Centrifugals are really nice and a great choice but the satisfaction of driving a eaton/whipple/kenne around town is much better to me.

This argument has been going on for a long time and both are great choices. Overall satisfaction for me is much higher now than it was with my centrifugal. Others love the centrifugals or even turbos. I seldom make it to the track and most of my acceleration is from 0-75 around town.

The new gt KB is a 2.2

And yes go with the kenne bell since the torque and instant boost is alot of fun on the street.

Had both Vortech and now have KB... Both 14# around the same HP ..

Cool feeling up top with Vortech. Great at the track.

KB great around town. 0-70.. Had my fun... Done... Love the sound.

KB for around town fun. Not sure how how it compares at the track, Yet.

You'd be happy with either...

The latest issue of Muscle Mustangs Fast Fords has an excellent 4.6 power adder shootout on it. They test the 1.7 kenne a vortech ans they even test the 2.2 kenne on a 2 valve.

so if i bought a KB now for my GT it would be the 2.2? or would it still be the 1.7?

1.7 is the only complete kit they're selling to the general public right now. They distributed the 2.2L blower to some tuners that knew what they're doing to get it to work. But the 2.2 should be available soon... at a cost, of course.

I sat in books-a-million for a while paging through that article. It was great! From what I remember, the 2.2L KB out-performed the Vortech SQ-v2 until the boost started getting outrageously high. But even then, I'm sure the low-end instant boost of the KB would be given the nod over the vortech.

I believe in the same magazine (maybe not i was looking through a bunch of mustang magazines) ran some track times with a new F1 Procharged cobra. Even with higher boost than the KB'd cobra, the Procharged cobra could only manage a best of 10.99 after several runs on different types of slicks. So, I'd give the KB the nod no matter what.

so this 2.2l isnt avalible, should i just get the KB kit avalible now? or whats this Vortech SQ-V2? wht kinda power will that get? will it work on the 2V? how much money?
