Talk Me Out of a KB or Tell Me I'm Crazy 'Cause I'm Buying One
I finally have the funds to get the TS1000-99-INT kit from KB. It's going to sting the pocket bookwith a base $4999.00 before tax and shipping. Yes that's a ton of cash!!!
I've posted in the past that what I want is a streetable 400rwhp on pump gaswith the option and goal of obtaining 500rwhp after a short block upgrade. I've done my home work and I have made up my mind to go with the KB.
WhatI want to hear is commentsfrom guys who currently have the KB or guys who have switched from a KB to a Centri.
I know what you centri guys think, and that's cool.

*Puts Flame Suit on* (always wanted to say that

I would go with the TS, instant torque is so much fun. Plus, there is a reason you see so many Cobra's with Kenne Bells on them. Some people I've talked to say that centri. makes boost just as fast as TS, but I've never rode in a centri. car so I can't tell you for sure.

Well I dont have either, but is that the 1.7L or the 2.2L? polished? intercooled?

Congrats on the decision, keep in mind the upgrades to your fuel system and stuff. That'll be some good coin too. Let us know how everything goes with install and everything.
