The install manual was very thorough but there were a couple of step that had me scratching my head and a few others that had me throwing stuff across the garage. One of the more confusing things was that a step tell you to install bracket such and such here using xxx-xxx bolts. The problem was that none of the bags were labeled and in some cases, not all the parts needed for the bracket step would be in the same bag. So I had to go hunting for xxx-xxx bolt and hope that these were the ones the manual was talking about. It was like the biggest model I ever put together without the little number tabs to tell me if I had the right part or not. All in all though, with the number of parts that I have purchased and the instructions that came with them (if they even had any), this was by far the most thorough and comprehensive install guide I have seen. I can only imagine what the manuals must look like on some of the cheaper superchargers. The level of information that KB makes available is one of the reasons that I went with a KB. I had been planning, months ago, to get a Procharger. I liked the KB but I thought it was a bit expensive and I was hesitant to have a constant displacement SC because I already had traction issues with the 4.10 gears in a slightly modded stock engine. I was thinking an extra 100lbs of torque would aggravate this even more. After a considerable amount of research, tech articles, talking to people and cruising websites I ended up changing my mind in favor of a KB for a few different reasons. First off, there is very little info on the Procharger, especially for the 05. I couldn't get a feel for it. KB has tons of info. I read an article on superchargers and it pointed out a couple of things also. It stated that twin screws (ts) are better suited for heavier vehicles such as trucks than a centrifugal. At 3800lbs+ the 05 could go either way so I felt there might be an advantage in having the constant boost. They also stated that TS's are better suited for automatics (didn't really explain why). Another thing had to do with where I live> Las Vegas. It had to do with the difference between an air to air or a air to water inter-cooler. "If you are in Phoenix and it is 110 degrees out, the coolest your air-charge can possibly get is 110 degrees(in a perfect world) . At least with an air to water, you can put I cube in when you have too". The final reason was simply that the KB supercharger looks exactly like what a supercharger is supposed to look like. I am planing on being in a few shows so I paid the extra $650 for the polish job and it is absolutely stunning. I just couldn't see the Procharger having the same effect or appeal as the KB. The total price tag for everything that I got was just over $6700 (no tax). When it came time to finally fire up my mustang after the install, everything worked exactly how it was supposed to. I couldn't be happier so I'm going to go with, "You get what you pay for". I want the best.
