RE: PI Engine work & S/C OR Turbo (for ‘02 4.6 2V)?
i agree with code that whipples are the best. They have quite a bit lower prices and their blowers are just about as efficient as KB's.
Code: I was lookin at the whipple site and couldn't find a twinscrew application for the gt...did i miss it or do they just simply not make one? I had no trouble finding one for the cobra, but not a single one for a gt...

Yeah... dont do a KB!! WTF?!?!? I just made 650 rwhp and thats running really rich! KB makes instantaneous boost and no boost drop off at any rpm. A properly built 2V will make 550 to the wheels very easily with a KB 1.7L.
You will need to upgrade to 31-33 spline axles in the rearend. The tranny will definetly need to be upgraded. If you build the engine, you may as well get the Cobra 8 bolt crank and go with the T56 tranny.

I agree. Do your normal bolt-ons. Get some head work done, cams, forged internals if you want, and upgrade your fuel system and top it off with a supercharger.

umm...he wont be at 550 unless he want to blow a rod, burn the clutch, lose the tranny, and rip that rear end apart...
get the engine done first, or just s/c it.
the turbo's would be a waste on a stock engine...specially if they can only handle 500 hp (kinda suprising)
def. go plan A..and go with a twin screw blower, too lol (that's just my opinion, get what u want)
