Mike_W, no offence dude but you have no idea what you are talking about with the Kenne Bell... None of what is about to follow is an attack on you I just wanted to straightn out a few mis-conceptions that you and others seem to have. I have the Blowzilla with a few other mods and I personally think it is the best street blower bar none... Now I will give you the fact that it isn't the most serious race blower but that isn't to say that the average mustang can't be competive at the lower classes of racing with it...First off,when you say "who wants all that power right off the bat" well why do you think so many people like big blocks? They are all about torque and low end grunt just like the KB. Yes traction is a problem but that is a given whenever you raise the power level and it can and SHOULD be addressed... Besides it is a blast to be able to lite them up at will, and you just have to get over the idea of reving it and dumping the clutch... And I have no idea what you are talking about when you mention running out of steam at the top end... My boost gauge shows the same amount of boost from 2000-6250 rpm... And the when you state that you are always in boost at anything above 2000rpm is wrong also, you can cruise and 3000 or 4000 rpm without being in boost if you want to but as soon as you step on the gas you have full boost!!! Now obviously the final decision should be made with your intended use as the number one consideration and the KB certainly isn't for everyone, but for those that want a killer SLEEPER for the street the KB has to be a very strong consideration... Again, no flame intended but wanted to clear up a few things from someone that has one and has lived with and driven one daily for the last couple of years so really does know what they are talking about and not just passing on hearsay... GreeceLightning, whatever blower (or turbo, and I do like turbos!) you decide to go with will be a blast so do your research and then dive in and have a blast!!!

92GT all the free stuff and a few bolt-ons, lowered with Ebiach's and Koni's, Kenny Brown subframe connectors, lower G-brace and jacking rails. BBK upper and lower control arms, polyurethane bushings all around and Ken Bell blower, ram-air, 80mm mass air, etc.
