No issues at idle, just under throttle. Cant even seem to get blower to kick in. Good vacuum on blower, and under WOT cant get it into boost more than 10-12lb (usu. it is 18lb). Seems like something is holding car back. Car is rarely driven, only 3rd time out this year. Thinking bad gas, I...
doing some datalogging today - wide open in third and the fuel pressure went flat-line and car died. No fuel pressure now - had car towed - won't start.
Guess it is time to upgrade fuel pumps/system. I need ideas fast!!

The intake manifold absolute pressure (PSI) keeps pegging at about 30psi no matter what size pulley I have on. Tried a 3.0" and 3.5" upper with the 6lb lower tonight and the autotap graph looked exactely the same for each?? What gives? It goes to 30psi and flat lines till I get off the boost...
614rwhp/614rwtq std
17lb boost
Unfortunately it was running lean, hanging around 13:1. Not good.
The KB chip seems to make more power but too lean. Holds 60psi at idle. The diablo was only 38psi at idle.
Quick question, when plugging in the KB chip, there are two leads to plug into the...
Anyone here using the KB BAS?
Any pics of the installed product.
Want to install mine today and the instructions don't provide much help for a simpleton like me.
Such as where did you mount it?
Where does it tie into the blower, or does it?

Apparently the boys at Metco are releasing a 10 rib belt/pulley setup next month. For the KB only. Kit should include new upper/lower/belt.
The thing is, I have just gotten to the point where I have a garage full of 8 rib pulleys and belts. Hello eBay?!?!

I put the Metco 2lb lower on with a 3.00" upper and expected to get approx. 19lb boost (about what I was running before the switch). However the new boost guage is pegging at 25lb boost!!! What am I missing?

Well, went to Norwalk, Ohio Fun Ford Weekend today.
This was my first time ever on a track. Had to ask a million questions, nervous as all get out.
Running 17lb on the KB. ZERO traction through first and second (slid all the way through each gear), although admittedly I didn't do a good job...
BFG DR's 315/30/18 on AFS 18X10.5's. I have 'Undy's' spacer, and the IRS bolt is shaved, so I don't have any fit problems on the inside yet (although an IRS brace, where the IRS bolt is, sits very close), however the fender is hitting the tires on hard turns and big bumps. Can the fenders be...
Will Michelin 335/30/18's fit on the AFS 10.5" rims? I believe Tire rack specifies a 11" rim. Is it close enought that it will still fit? I have the spacers and the IRS bolt has been ground down. Thanks

Using a 74" Gates with the 17lb pully Belt is REALLY tight. Only way to get it on was to pull the idler pully off first.
Anyway is there such thing as the belt being too tight? Any negative effects?

One 03 Cobra + one KB blower = whole new car. Thanks Pete!!
:beer:
Thanks to Rick at AR for totally eliminating the 'hop' (it was bad)
Still getting used to the exhaust - wicked loud.
Love taking people out for a ride. Reactions range from 'stop the car', to 'don't do that any more'...
