Brad Hook-up, as in like launching off the line? There's of chassis and drive train work to do yet. Also, doesn't you motor have hypereutectic pistons? They tend to break easily under detonation. A good tune will keep you out of that. To get traction... the low rpm power seems like it would just break the tires loose constantly. I have a Kenne Bell on my 89 LX. The throttle response is fantastic with a twin screw blower and very controllable. It is no different than running a high revving big block engine. Okay.... never ridden in one of those before. I am going to look into it. Thanks. |
your torque curve will raise 100-150 ft-lbs across the entire rpm range.
I like them because they deliver a substantial performance gain at all
rpm levels and not just above 4500-5000 rpm like a centrifugal. The
reason for this is that a twin screw blower will make its full rated
boost amount from rpm to redline whereas the boost made by a centrifugal
is dependent on the rpm rate.
If you have any questions about the KB setup on a 5.0L ask away. I know
quite a bit about getting the most from these kits. I have run mine all
the way up to 16 psi of boost.

On the odd chance this is a legitimate post, I'm not the person you are looking for. My father died many years ago and his name wasn't Charles.

More than I few I would guess. The odds of me being THE Michael Johnson
she is looking for is beyond remote. Although, meeting a 22 year old
sweet KY girl may not be a bad thing, if my wife doesn't care.
