Here's a little input on the Kenne Belle, not sure if is worth anything. This past weekend I had my car tuned and there an 02 GT getting his Kenne Belle, 10 pound, intercooled kit tuned also. He made 355 rwhp. He had all the standard mods, exhaust, 90 mm MAS, plus long tube headers, stock gears though with a 5-spd. My Vortech'ed GT, running 6 pounds of boost made 320 rwhp. My boost was down because I did not upgrade to the smaller pulley when I had an air to air intercooler installed. My tune was done on the stock, largest SC pulley, 3.6"". When the car was tuned without the intercooler I was making 350 rwhp on 12 pounds of boost. That's on a total investment of about $3600, including installation. That is on a stock MAS, 30 pound injectors, no C&L upper intake, and stock throttle body. It did have a custom tuned Diablo Chip. These dyno #'s are on a Mustang Dyno. I went for a ride in the Kenne Belle GT and it was impressive, especially considering he was on the 3.27 gears. Amazing how different the boost works with the roots type blower, I mean he was at 10 pounds of boost instantly, no gradual build like the centrifugal SC. He hit the gas and that boost needle instantly stood at attention.

Yes, and that instant boost is exactly what I want... that means you get all the benifits all through the entire rpm range :)
And I finely got a ride in a charged stang!!! I know it's a little different than the mod, but here's the info... 1993 Mustang GT auto vert. He was running the same setup I want, 8psi intercooled twin screw... and let me tell you.. FAST FAST FAST!! He ran regular gas (90 octane).. and the temp was stable in the norm. No probs that I could see. But I hear people saying that 8psi on regular gas is gonna cause problems... ?? |

they in NO WAY put any where near the stress on the drivetrain that a 5 speed will yes there are autos running 10s with the stock rear stuff and then there are guys running mid 13s and that break them using a 5 speed |

Cool thanks!
KB programs a chip and includes it in the kit... so I guess thats taken care of :) I wonder if they'll program other stuff in for me? Speedo fix & trac loc OFF by default (important: messes with a/f upon sensing tire slip) Correct? None of my other mods should need tuning, keeping stock MAS.. so all should be good. |

So getting dyno tuned is just like fine tuning the chip?
So they reburn the chip? After all the dyno tests? |

you see most supercharger companys send a base tune so the car runs most times not the safest way to go then when you get it dyno tuned they will make sure it has a good tune with good driveabilty |
