Update on my KB 99

[RED99COBRA]

Well I finally have everything in working order. I had to get a new tensioner as I shredded 2 belts because of a weak spring. I then had to get a new hood blanket because of the shredded belts. When I took the hood blanket off I noticed that the top of the throttle body wore a hole in the fiberglass hood brace so I had to dremel that area out and touch it up with paint.

Now for the fun. I raced Viper GTS (not sure of what year) from a dig and waxed his ass. I had him by about 2 cars by 100 before he let off. He slowed down and asked what was done to the car we talked for a moment and went our separate ways. I am having a freaking blast with the car once I got all of the BS fixed with the transmission. I cannot reccommend the Kenne Bell enough.

Don't feel bad though............ I give mine about the same amount of time..... =\

I am building the bottom end up over the winter along with a new fuel system, tublar k member, and long tubes. I want to pulley the blower to 15-18 psi.

 

[Mt Twigbert]

I plan on doing the same over the winter.. I'm just having a hard time ripping apart a motor w/ 12k miles.. :cuss:

Pretty expensive that 9psi KB kit though :S
They also deliver a "chip" I've seen on their site. Is it a chip or can you get a SCT tune? How custom is it (removed anti spin, corrected gear ration etc.)?
I am so gonna save for the KB, to bad it costs like a car

The cost is what kept me away from the KB, but you make great power with that thing. I am glad youre having fun

The KB tune was dead on in my opinion. They could have gone more aggressive since I run Torco full time in my car but I chose to keep it safe so I didnt break anything until I got it built. The price is pretty steep but I think you get what you pay for. I could have went the turbo route but I wanted the benefits of a twin screw and the turbo would have still ended up costing me even more.

^^^ i got mine 3 years ago and was one of the first with the KB kit...they had a ton of problems with the 99 tune and only a few with 01 tunes....but they got better as more people got the kits and sent them datalogs and results
