KB complete, first test run going into boost (impressions)...pics inside!!!
Okay, I finished up my KB install Saturday night. I checked all of the fluids, took it out for a quick spin (without going into boost), brought it back to the house, rechecked the fluids and everything looked good. So then I took it out for the first boost test drive. My first impression....holy crap this thing is fast. I was at a stop light and I took off normally. I went into second gear still taking it easy. Then I just barely blipped the throttle and all the sudden my ass end broke completely loose and I was almost sideways. I am definately going to have to learn how to drive my car again. It is a completely different car now. I took my brother out for a test drive in it and I had the car in 4th gear and I stomped on it. I looked over at him right as I was getting on it and both of our heads snapped back...it pulls so hard. I let my friend drive it (he has a moddified 03 cobra so I wasn't worried about him messing anything up) and I was in the passenger seat. He got on it one time and my heart seriously skipped a beat. It really scared the crap out of me. I can't wait to test it out some more!!!
Anyways, I am smiling ear to ear today. You couldn't kick the smile off my face right now. The car really surpises me. The kit is so well engineered, it is amazing. The car runs perfect like it did before the blower went on...perfect idle, pefect driveablitly, etc. I guess this is thanks to Ken and the other guys at KB who write the programs for the chips.
The only issue I have right now, is my car is having some problems starting. When I first go to start it after it sits overnight it takes 3 or 4 times before it actually starts. Then when it does first come on, it is rough but then smoothes out very quickly. I am going to call KB tech dept. today and see if they know what could be causing this. It might be my TPS sensor, I don't know.
I am hoping to get some pictures up soon!
P.S. My rear tires are not going to last very long!

Congrats!
And the thing WILL NOT stop pulling...no matter the gear...no matter the rpms.
Big downer.
