Switched from a centrifugal to a KB-Pics

[screwed]

Went from 663 rwhp with a T Trim to 568 rwhp with the KB at 9 psi and a 100 shot. A lot of people question me as to why I did this and it's simply bc the car was getting out of hand and I decided to tone it down a bit. After riding in an 03 cobra I knew what kind of blower I wanted so I went with the little 1.7 KB. Anyway, here are a few pics of the finished install. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick the car up next weekend and have some fun.

Looks good.

Nice
:bowdown:

Very nice car :rockon:

Nice choice. There's only so much HP you can use on the street anyway and I imagine the KB gave you a flatter torque curve.

 

[98cobra snake]

Nice. Does the Kenne Bell have less whine than the T trim?:coolman:

 

[Speed_Demon1965]

How much boost were you running with the T trim? If it's the same boost as you are running with the KB, then why would power go down that much?

Looks damn good, btw.

 

[Zgarske01]

he was running alot more boost with the t trim but i believe because of his built engine the compression levels are not allowing him to see 14lbs of boost with the 14lb pulley so instead hes seeing 9lbs

 

[brad65ford]

How do you like the torque compaired the the other blower?

 

[98gt281]

Instead of spraying, why not just up the boost from 9 to 14-15, seems safer than two power adders.

 

[T-Bolt]

Yeah, how much boost was coming out of the T trim? I gather a lot more. Anyway, you're gonna get a helluva lot more usable torque out of this.

looks good. we want vids with SOUND!!!

 

[hydroshutter]

Georgia right? When are you gonna come over and install mine on my GT?

Looks badass. Would love to see it in person.

Toned it down to a KB, boy life must be rough!!:rockon:

Thanks for the kind words everyone, it's appreciated. I was running 17 psi with the T Trim and with the KB and a 2 3/8" pulley (smallest they offer) that is designed for 14 psi we're only seeing 9 psi due to the ported heads and cams. I wouldv'e liked to get 14 psi out of it but knew that wouldn't happen so it's fine.

The spray is there for the rare occasion that I go to the track to give me that added "grunt".........it'll never be used on the street. I don't have a problem with running two power adders as the car is tuned for it and I trust my builder/tuner.

I will hopefully be heading up to Atlanta to pick the car up next weekend and shortly thereafter will try to get some vids up..........minus loud music. Thanks again for everyone being so kind.

that one nice looking GT

Needs a chrome alternator. ;-)

Looks great man, I think you started something.
I saw smithaltanta posting about swapping out his Vortech to the KB. :rockon:

Don't have it back yet.................

..............but when I do get it back track outings will be rare. I've had my fun at the dragstrip and now it's time to enjoy it like intended-on the street.
