KENNE BELL, would you do it again?

[jason427]

I know there are not that many out there, but those of you who did, would you do it again on a GT500?

I was planning on keeping the car mostly stock and adding Kenne Bell Stg. 3 and beef up the driveline a little.

Any problems after install?

Thanks,
Jason

kenne bell stg.3 is pretty stock?

 

[R1Lello]

I may as well in the future but to me a bit early yet........need to ensure all the bugs are out. My goal will be about 650 rwhp.........not 700-800 rwhp like some though

 

[manOwar]

Yep,

What are you saying???

I said I was planning on keeping the car mostly stock and then adding the KB, Meaning stock exhaust manifolds, mid & cat back setup, wheels, ect.....

Your going to blow the tires off with the KB and stock wheels/tires

 

[jason427]

I said stock wheels, not tires

I will run drag radials like I do on the E55,
Also get a set of bogarts for the track.

I just don't want this car to be like my Viper where it is a chore just to drive it. Crazy loud (full exhaust, no cats).... crazy clutch...... some driveability quirks. I love it, but I don't need another beast like that.

I want this car to sound basically stock, and look basically stock but with good driveability and 650-700rwhp.

Off topic but was wondering what you have done to the e55? What are some good message boards for that car also. Thanks.

Really, Cgoeschel did not have a huge problem with them.

That sounds like 1st gear "hooking up" to you?

 

[Red Turtle]

I can't even hook in 1st gear with my Terminator, and hooking was not what I was referring too. His comment was "blow the tires off".

I was just showing everyone the the HP gain is still something that you can control.

I agree with you on that.
It would be interesting to know if he was on street tires or drag radials, as it did not look too bad, just spinning in 1st.

I would think w/drag radials and stock gear traction would be controlable on the street.

 

[Red Turtle]

stock radials. I know because I am the one who filmed the car.

 

[FEARSNO1]

i would def. do it again, nothing on the street is close to it, and the torque is just flat out amazing. customer service has been excellent and i think we have gotten 99 percent of the bugs out. just the sound alone was worth it for me. that KB absolutely screams and i still know that i can turn up the boost some more. WOW.
