This proves KB cant make a proper blower on the 5.0. Sure they make great power on the Terminators and GT500 but when it comes to the 5.0 and 5.8l they completely fail. I'm shocked that Im seeing numbers for a 2.2L intercooled 8.5 psi setup. I would assume these numbers would be produced by a non intercooled 1.5L setup running 6.5 psi. Regardless, best of wishes with your future tuning and you were sure lucky to keep the heads on the block with that one!
while i dont completely disagree (from what ive seen in KB builds), ill wait until he gets it tuned before i chalk this one up to KBs fault. seems like theres a few things that need a serious adjustment before any decent numbers can be put down
Its a really bad tune on a stock 5.0 shortblock. These cars made less than 200RWHP in stock form. The Termis and GT500 benefit from a much better performing/breathing shortblock. If you go to the Kenne Bell website they have a clip from an article where a H/C/I 5.0 made 508HP at 9.2psi.

I guess what I'm trying to say is you can't really blame the blower. It is what it is. A blower setup is only going to perform as well as the combo that its a part of.

lean runs strong
I disagree
I agree with you, take two identical cars, one set too lean, other too rich, the lean car will be way faster, but it'll probably blow up, haha
look at that dyno graph again, thing makes over 300ft torque throughout the entire powerband, for a street car I'll chose torque over hp all day
high end hp #s are low from lack of fuel

Yeah, my tuner put my a/f at about 12 as you can see here. This was a really bad pull though, with still a pretty bad tune. This is at 7.9 lbs of boost.

Air Fuel Ratio & the SRF
Carefully study the first two charts...
As you can see above -- and in the chart below --- power is rapidly affected by lean mixtures...and not affected as dramatically by rich mixtures.

Think about it, fellas. We need fuel to make the fire. Fire is what we get usable energy from. Therefore, take away too much fuel and you take away your ability to make power, on top of possibly causing engine damage.
Lean conditions do not make more power. You might *hear* a tuner say "we leaned out his A/F and he gained X hp at XXXX rpm." When the tuner is saying he "leaned out" the A/F, he means he moved A/F from maybe 10.5:1 to 12.5:1. 12.5:1, again, still technically being a rich mixture.
No, he's the devil.

BINGO. well said

No way, not the kid with the slayer avatar, thats good christian music
I set timing with the spout out before I had the keene bell setup I was very surprised it did not detonate

maybe your wrong and misinformed, you ever think of that? whats this like usual bussiness, haha
I can't even believe the dyno operator continued to make a full pull with the A/F the way it is..I really hope you are not going to have him tune the car.I wouldn't even be driving the car the way it is.It's deff. gonna pick up power with the A/F straightened out.
