I was just laying the plans for one out tonight with my neighbor who is a good welder. I'm going to wait until I absolutely need one before I do it. I want to consistantly run better than 11.50 before I go there.

Figured I would have to gut the entire interior (not the dash and such) of all carpet, seats and plastics. Put the cage in, test fit it, take it out and paint the majority of it, then put it back in for tacking and welding. Finsih up the welded areas.

Put pads on the head area.

 

Now THAT is a beauty.

 

Congrats, looks great.

 

simon didn't you have a turbo setup?? if so how come you went with the kenne bell setup over it.

 

It wasn't CARB legal and my car had to be 100% legal, so I switched.

I haven't been able to drive the new set up yet, so I can't compare the two. The turbo was a ton of fun and a real head turner. SO, soon as my car is tuned to where it can be driven and abused, I will give a review.

 

Nice setup you got there. What size is it?

 

Congrats Simon....is it the KB Mammoth 2.8L?....either way sweet! I like the polished one too....(I wonder why)

 

It's the 2.6. I wanted the 2.8 but for smag reasons I had to choose the smaller.

The 2.8 doesn't really shine until I'm 15 psi or higher. However, I would imagine eventually I will be running 20 psi on an automatic someday. This blower is plenty to get me into the 10's and in alot of trouble on the street.

I'm hoping for high 400's to 500 rwhp on the stock pulley which is somewehere around 9-10 psi. Since my motor is built, they can add a little more timing to it than a non built motor. We will see. As long as it drives really good and I can switch pullies and tunes for the track, I'll be happy.
