RECOMMENDED OPTIONAL PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS (see catalog & website)
Kenne Bell BOOST-A-SPARK™ (Best Ford 4.6 ignition. Recommended after 10 psi)
Kenne Bell 90mm Meter & Chip (up to 13HP over stock meter)
Kenne Bell 70mm Throttle Body (10HP over stock)
Kenne Bell 75mm Throttle Body & "Big Tube" Kit (18HP over stock)
Kenne Bell Cool Air Kit (up to 13HP)
Kenne Bell Gauge (Boost & Fuel psi) Package

will i need a BAS with 10 psi?? if so how much are they? are the 36 lb injectors enought for 400 rwhp??and could i run a Focus pump rather than the BAP? wouldnt that be better??i already have a 70mm TB. how hard is the install?? i'm very mechanically inclined and have LOTS of tools, could i do this at home or should i take it somewhere?

If you can do your own work follow this and you can't go wrong http://modularpowerhouse.com/product_info.php?products_id=158&osCsid=11f2725be85e4389cd4a32b9bad32981

I have talk to people that have do thier own install and have used the KB chip and have been fine. You have to answer some questions before they send you the chip. Most shops charge between 850 and 1000 for the install so if you can do the install it will save you some money! i would suggest you taking it to the dyno to make sure you are not running lean before you get on it and break the motor.

From what I have heard the KB kits are very complete, have excellent instructions, and go in relatively easily.

do the install yourself. I am going to talk to them. I am going to run the 9psi kit. try to use my current 70mm tb and I am going to get a new meter as it should peg the stock one.

unless they recoment something else that is what I will run. now on the fuel pump I am sure you can run a different pump but their kit is designed around the boost a pump so I would talk to them before I did something different.

Bah.. it's $5k.. get a credit card and call it good. It'd be worth it.

Reminds me of that commercial "I have a 4 bedroom house, 2 cars, a pool, I'm a member of the golf club, and how do I do it? I'm in debt up to my eyeballs."
