That does not mean that it is not a viable option. I hate Chevys, but that does not stop millions of them from being sold. The Kenne Bell supercharger does what it does very well. If you want to build a engine that operates outside of those parameters, then don't get a Kenne Bell, But it is not the superchargers fault that it is being used outside of its sweet spot. The Kenne Bell makes awesome bottom end torque, that is what it is all about. That way you don't have to max rpm the engine to get max boost. And for most daily driven street cars, having a fat torque curve is more enjoyable and usable on the street than the typical high rpm centrifugal blower. To qualify that statement...........a Kenne Bell will give you max boost at 2,000 rpm. A centrifugal blower will not do that for you, you have to wind the engine higher to start getting boost, and peak boost is typically at peak rpm. It all come down to what you want the car/engine to do for you. In the right application either the twin screw or the centrifugal will give you exactly what you want.I also don't care for the KB.

Car is not quite done yet. The custom inlet/outlet manifolds are still being machined. I am in the middle of installing the Fast XFI engine management system now. This build is pretty much for drag racing purposes. Kind of a slap in the face to everyone who said you can't make a Kenne Bell car run hard lol. The end result should net about 1,200 HP or so at the crank.I just saw that you're running a kenne bell. Any vids of your car ?

Hahahahahaha..............so why does everyone get their shorts is a twist when someone wants to put the cheaper LS engine into a Fox Mustang? Point #2, I suppose your happy with all of the Chevy powered old Ford hot rods, right? After all it has only been done 10 Billion times................you have a belly button, I have a belly button, ain't we Kool! Point #3, Ever heard of an engineering exercise? Probably not because your happy with the status quo right?So you are spending more time and money to prove people wrong and they are the ones getting slapped in the face?
I don't think people question that KB cars can run "hard". I just think they question the financial sensibility of doing it when other ways can be so much cheaper and easier.
I know the KB gets your more low end torque, but that really is a non issue on a 5 Litre V8 don't you think.

hey what kind of rims are on that fox of yours? they look big judging by avatar but they look like they fit right inSo you are spending more time and money to prove people wrong and they are the ones getting slapped in the face?

They look sick. I always loved those and the roush argent rims. I wish I could find a set somewhereYou must have signatures turned off in your forum settings. First post by a user on a page always shows the signature.
My pics and vids are there.

Yea I don't plan on running the 1/4 to often. I know it's hard to keep the tires planted with the flat out torque. I did the whole drag thing with my last mustang. I'm trying something new. I want something fun that handles like its on rails. (Or handles better than a drag setup )The reason most people recommend certain parts is because of their personal expierience. If certain things work better than others (in their expierience) why wouldn't they recommend them? I'm all for doing the Kenne Bell. As far as your suspension goes it is an ok street/cornering suspension. You will be hard pressed to keep the tires hooked up on the street though with the added torque.
