That's awesome man hope the auto doesn't hurt me too bad

Dont get stuck on dyno numbers. We all know that an auto will spin less ponies on the dyno versus a stick. The real test is the track. The auto will move out and get the power down where it counts.

Exactly. I learned a long time ago Dyno numbers mean nothing.

An Auto car with a good convertor and the kb will be a quick car!

I miss my 2003 GT. I had a intercooled 1.7l KB running 8lbs making 425/397 or there about. I have a 2012 GT now and thinking about getting another KB.

Worth it? Absolutely!!!!

Get your KB on there and lets see if they think you are nuts then. Transmissions have come a long way and are way better than the old slush boxes they used to be. Its fun to bang gears once in a while, but automatic can be just as much fun.

All this talk of a KB on a 2V is getting me excited! Been kicking around the idea of putting one on the wife's GT for a few years. Ever since I sold my Cobra she has been asking for her GT to go faster. I guess I spoiled her when I let her drive my Cobra. Looks like a KB is on the horizon!

Good luck OP!

Yeah exactly what I want. Vettes, camaros etc will be in trouble with a little 2 valve auto lol and I agree manual is great at times and not fun other times

Maybe we both can get one!!!

And I've seen several used 2.1 kb kits for about $3000 on corral think I'll be able to find one for that in the winter??? Seems like a decent deal when it is $5000 for them new

I will throw this out there. The kb kit is great but u are stuck with it. I have the tork tech kit with a posi port eaton tb and plenum and made 430/405 on 5 pounds. I also have comp 270 cams and long tubes. I love the kit it works great and is high quality. If u look around and wait on deals u can do one for under 4k. I have right around 3500 in my kit.

Stock heads?? That ain't bad price either but I can get kb used most likely full kit for $4000. Saw one for $3000 and one for $3500 for 2.1 kit. Don't think that's bad and just out of curiosity though can you show your part/price list for your tork tech set up?

HAHA! Good catch..

I am loving it so far other than the fact that I was T-boned the other day by a woman running a stop sign. It goes to the body shop Tuesday for repair. two of the wheels got damaged and I am having a hard time trying to decide what wheels I want to get!

No. Go turbo. 5,000$ on just a blower on a stock motor is a horrible idea. Smart route is build your motor then build your power before you pop a motor and no replacement.

don't like turbos. And it's about $3000-$3500 on the blower and rest in Trans stuff. And I shouldn't blow my motor if I'm smart and just run at 9 psi
