flyinfox · 11-14-2006, 01:58 PM

ok i have a 2002 mustang gt, i am putting a kenny bell on my car i wanna be safe will the car be able to handle the power on just 9 lbs or can you goo lower any help please

*03gtmustang* · 11-14-2006, 02:10 PM

Its Kenne Bell, not kenny.

What blower are we talking about here? You should be fine @9psi.

flyinfox · 11-14-2006, 02:19 PM

well mustang muscle told me it would not be safe thats why i wanna talk to people that have them and is the keep fairly easy to install and sorry bout the misspelling

*03gtmustang* · 11-14-2006, 02:29 PM

Who is mustang muscle? If its too much power you can just detune it no problem, or change the pulley. But youll probably be right around 400rwhp. http://www.kennebell.net/supercharge...2v/gt96-04.htm

flyinfox · 11-14-2006, 02:35 PM

yea i know i am just researching so i don't have a problem! mustang muscle is a shop around my house that builds 1,000 hp mustangs

*03gtmustang* · 11-14-2006, 02:40 PM

I never said there was anything wrong with researching. Good job!

People run 10lbs on stock bottom ends. If you dont drive the car crazy and have a damn good tune then itll last while. You could always drop down to an 8 psi pulley.

03AZRoush · 11-14-2006, 02:40 PM

The 1.7 and the 2.1 with 9psi are perfectly safe for stock GT's. Who is tuning the car? It all depends on the tune. That should put you right around 400rwhp and thats just about all you want on the stock 2v.

If this shop Mustang Muscle is saying it wont be safe then you need to go to another shop because they obviously dont know what theyre talking about

flyinfox · 11-14-2006, 02:49 PM

well another ? i have is the chip that comes with the kenny bell good enough or not remeber i do have some mods including LT and 262 cams

*03gtmustang* · 11-14-2006, 02:53 PM

No, youll need a dyno tune. I wouldnt run on any mail order tune with a power adder. Even NA mail order tunes arent perfect.

03AZRoush · 11-14-2006, 03:06 PM

have you already ordered the KB? If not then go through Modular Powerhouse. Tim is the best in the country for tuning 2v's and if you buy from him he will mail you a tune that plugs into your car and youll be set to go! Check it out:

www.modularpowerhouse.com are also 1,400 dollors more than buying direct from kenne bell

flyinfox · 11-14-2006, 04:13 PM

I believe that includes shipping, installation and dyno tune as well. They are a great shop. You should be safe with 9 psi. Like AZRoush said, it all depends on your tune. I wouldnt use the mail tune.

flyinfox · 11-14-2006, 06:09 PM

who did your tunnnig and what kind of tunner

*03gtmustang* · 11-14-2006, 06:14 PM

Look at his sig. Tune by Steen Racing.

Ed Clark from Steen Racing. They are located in Norfolk, VA. That shop is great too. They like to use the SCT tuners. Which was good cuz I already had the xcal tuner.

*03gtmustang* · 11-14-2006, 06:19 PM

Yep you can, no problem. Ed tuned my car with my SCT chip. Then I got rid of that for a xcal 2.

If they are telling you its not safe to run on a stock motor, it may be to get you to pay for more work done to the engine than necessary. 8-9#s psi is ok on stock engines. But with more power and performance comes more maintenance. What is your car used for?

flyinfox · 11-14-2006, 06:27 PM

i am buying the pistons and rods as soon as i get some money

flyinfox · 11-15-2006, 05:14 AM

hey i just found an awesome deal on a saleen supercharger are these any good can you find more pulleys for more boost just some more ? before i make my decision

spike_africa · 11-15-2006, 05:22 AM

you can up the psi to think 9 or 10psi is the smallest psi pulley they make for them. So yeah yopu can up the power a bit.

Teal_Beast · 11-15-2006, 06:37 AM

Tell them they are big blubbering vaginas.

2v's better be able to hold 400whp and 9psi lol

flyinfox · 11-15-2006, 06:51 AM

so unlike the kb and its 15psi the saleen can only reach around 10psi , and what is a website where you can buy the pulleys it keeps on sounding like i would be better of with the KB
