The KB switch

[USMC_MuSTaNG]

Well the old vortech is off and the New polished KB is on. MAN what a diffrence. This KB is awesome. The car mad 389/397. I'm very pleased, all that torque down low is a diffrent feeling than the vortech. THanks goes out to T&J for doing such a great job again! Oh yeah ....Thank you Micheal Kidd for a great deal on A polished KB!!!!!

Are peak numbers much different or just the powerband? Have fun with it!

 

[USMC_MuSTaNG]

I made 381/360 with the vortech, but had to get timing pulled and it never went back on the dyno. The numbers aren't that diffrent , but the fell SURE is.

usmc hmmmm what are you doing with the old vortec? selling it, or better yet giving it to me? LOL are you running factory internals?

How much would a decent used Vortech go for, and what exactly needs to be done to the engine to prepare for something like that?

i take it you're running a pretty safe tune since you are not over 400hp. Still some bad ass numbers i bet your car hauls are you planning on taking it to the track any time soon?

Set for 18* max timing. I think KB uses 21*

Doubt I would tell the difference between the extra hp and tq. but I know it is safe!

Congrats on the KB! I never drove a centri'd car, but I know you've got to love the low end torque.

I am jealous. I don't even have a blower let alone switch one for the other. Congrat on the upgrade. Anyway you heading out to T&J for Dyno Day?
