Default Installed a Kenne Bell 3.2LC Mammoth on my 99 GT vert!

Installed this over the weekend. I did everything but the heat exchanger and intake since the fender has to be cut in order to attach the filter and the heat exchanger requires drilling. I will take it to the shop that will tune it probably later this week after I rent a car trailer. I aim to make 550 rwhp so I can run 11 flat and avoid the roll cage rule at the track (its a convertible). I don't think I'll have an issue making the power considering it made 400 rwhp at 8 psi on my 1.6l Saleen blower. This blower makes 16 psi with the biggest pulley and has twice the displacement. Excited to see dyno numbers. 5.0 magazine made about 570 with the 2.8LC at 15 psi and stock heads and cams... so I honestly might be closer to 600 rwhp at 16 psi with trick flow heads, comp cams, and offroad headers. Either way, I expect a beast!

Here's the steel horse that the Kenne Bell got installed in and my old weenie Saleen blower. She'll show no mercy to her Hemi brother!

Best believe if I'm running twisted wedge heads and comp cams that I took the time to forge my engine too. I'm running 9.5:1 CR and spraying methanol to compensate for the added boost. I considered the 2.1 but it wasn't going to give me a big gain over my old Saleen blower so I opted for the 3.2. I didn't want to spend thousands for only a 100 hp gain.

I was looking for one myself before buying but it came with really thorough instructions. It made me realize why there's no how to's out there. It might be helpful for someone who gets it used though.

The alternator is by Power Bastards and the output is 110 idle/220+ full power amps. I have two amps running doors and subs and they're about 3600 watts combined so I needed a HO alternator. I sold my Saleen kit on ebay.
