Does anyone have any experience with this kit?
http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=9968
Its rated at 540 hp. Its the same kit that comes on the KR.
Im debating this kit, because it says that if you have it installed at time of delivery, they will honor your 3/36 warranty.
I have heard a rumor that once the stock pulley is removed with a puller, the pulley gets slightly mishappen and cannot be re-used. The FRPP kit is at least and alternative, as opposed to going with a kit based on swapping on a new 2.8 or 2.6 pulley. Once you take your stock pulley off, you may not be able to put the stock one back on because:
-Once the stock pulley is removed, it is mishappen and not the same.
-Ford does not sell the pulley by itself, you have to by the entire blower snout which goes for $1,000+. And I have heard they are difficult to order and backorderd.
Im not sure I can take that kind of risk on this car. (Althought I am still debating it). I may go for the kit with the factory warranty for awhile. I have seen my fair share of Mod motors go nuclear for no reason. Without the factory warranty, they would have been screwed!:uh oh:
