be carefull, I have a Kb system and we made the mistake on thinking the stock motor could handle it and 2 days later we through 2 rods out the bottom. I dont want you to go through the same pain we did... The system is well worth it though, nothing like a crap load of hp when you need it!!!

Can you post some spacifics? It would be good to know if your tune was stock and what boost you were running. Did it blow on the dyno?

It's like a coffee saucerBut look at my 11lb pully its not much smaller. That shows you how much room you have to grow with the KB.

Actually I don't have the KB tune. I had Strictly Performance in Houston do the install. They are the prefered installer for KB in Texas. The it is actually a tuner kit and I have a different MAF and Cobra injectors installed along with a few other small variations.

It'll go back in for more tuning on Monday. However we made a couple short pulls to 5500 on Friday and it hit 422 rwhp. It should get to 470 rwhp with out having to change the pulley once we get it dialed in.

We'll just have to see.

Actually we picked the set up for the shortblock on Friday and they are supposed to start on it in January.
