Congrats Christian! :hail2:

You can run but........ "Without the turbonator my car would've only made 662 rwhp." :flag:

I ran 17 psi with a t trim on 93 octane. 9:1 compression.

I'm with DBMSTNG (well, not with him bc he has a boyfriend already but you know what I mean :rlaugh: ) on this. Save enough money to buy a shortblock instead of trying to piece one together. Some people say get a forged crank, some say the stock one will hold. Do what your engine builder...

The Gords is a wise investment although I used the KB unit and never had any problems, even in pensacola where I used to live too. :flag: I'd put the car on a trailer and get it to tim to let him break everything in. He'll put a soft tune in it to keep it as safe as possible while the motor...

I think $200 or so for the cai........no fitment issues that I remember but I had the steeda hood also. That is a vortech reservoir. My sole reason for using it was that I hate the bobo tin can that KB supplies in their kits and I also hate where they position it. The vortech tank requires...

I was using the SCT Big Air MAF and a stock 03 cobra inlet with a steeda cai on the end of it.

I had Comp cut mine with specs from Dennis Miles there. They were on my car with the t trim, jt trim, 1.7 KB, and the 2.2 KB and worked fine with all of them. I also used the comp springs and ferea valves with all else being stock in the valvetrain. Here's the graph although I don't think...

http://www.innovatorswest.com/ BHJ can get you something too but I don't have a link to them.

Vote #2 for Modular Powerhouse (formerly T&J Performance). They built my last car from the ground up including their heads and cams.

wtf

You don't need any internal engine work although you may need it eventually depending on a number of things such as driving habits, tune, etc. Superchargers put stress on any engine. It's just that some were built to take it and some were not. No way to know how long it'll last. Maybe...

Schweet! :nice:

I ran as much as 440 rwhp on the stock bottom end for 7k miles and never had a problem. That's pushing it big time. Motor can go boom any time with a blower though. Most important thing to remember is to throw vortech's tune in the trash and have someone tune the car themselves on a dyno.

I may try those KDWs next. Don't know the tread wear rating though.

I run 315/35/17 BFG drag radials with mine.

Sorry, no red, but there's a picture of my car in the link in my sig. Silver w/ black wheels.

:nice: Congrats!

Hmm, I'll have to check on the cooling affects but I ran nitrous with my 1.7 and now with the 2.2. I didn't have any heat issues with the 1.7 or 2.2 and I lived in Florida until recently. Stock heat exchanger too. I can tell you this, I went from 485/482 with no nitrous on the 1.7 to...

It's as complete as any kit out there and the install although long is not bad due to the best instructions out of any supercharger out there. I've had a procharger, 3 vortechs, a 1.7 KB, and now their 2.2 KB on this car and for my purposes the KB is a great choice.
