I know a couple of guys who have installed them in their garages. The kit is VERY complete, even with a chip. I'd still get it dyno tuned, but if you are serious about serious power, that's the way to go.

Did I mention you will have killer torque too?

Here's the dyno from my friends 99 gt with a Kenne Bell. It's got a 5 spd with 3.73's and (maybe) a couple other mods. But you'll notice it's pretty stout..

With those blowers, isnt the boost instant and constant? Unlike centrifugical blowers where the boost builds with rpm's?

Cool

I'd reccommend a gear upgrade too. 3.73s would do nicely.

The KB 2V intercooled kit is a get "bolt on" if a power adder is a bolt on.

The best part is that you can run stock internals and accessories but I think it's best to ensure you fuel requirements don't slip.
A stock rear should hold for most drivers who spend little time at the track and most of the time onthe highway to work.

The twinscrew design is more efficent than other ROOTs blowers and KB did a great job with this unit.
