Well, it's possible the internals were off and scraping against eachother. In that case it's kenne bell's fault. And a good tuner wouldn't have even tuned your car if he knew there was a problem like that. That can (as you saw) really screw up your engine.

You could be right....But they had my car there for over 2 weeks...Not to mention they've tuned KB's before...The mechanic told me there was something out of place on the inside....And that was how i was getting the Grinding and clacking noise. If you own one and your happy with it...So be it....I wasn't happy with mine..
It did screw up my engine...I had to replace my engine because of it....You should check out what i wrote in the video section about 04orangeGT KB....I said that hours ago my friend...I was really hurt because KB wouldn't refund me my money or give me another blower...After a long fight i with them I eventurally sold my car and the Blower....

And what does roush have to do with having a good tune? Yes, they are a mustang tuner. It doesn't mean the tuner you had knows how to tune your car the best.

That sucks man. If that was me kenne bell would have wished they never met me. If I'm spending that kind of $$ on a s/c it BETTER work.

It takes money to sue...and i had spent almost all our money on that blower. My wife wasn't happy at all...I just chalked it up as a loss...Next time I get a GT it will be only bolt on's.

I'm not talking about sueing. I'd just tell the credit card company to cancel the charge and I'll send it back. Then they can deal with it. Plus there is ALOT you can do to screw up a companies business besides sueing.

That's true....But i didn't want to continue to drag my pregnant wife through all this...It was a gift from her to me....I just said screw it....I took the mods of the car and sold it....
What's done is done....Next time i will know better....Like i said it was a bad blower and they blamed it on me....LOL...

You are WAYYYYYYYYYY off on that one bud. Talk to racer02gtstang. He hit 440+rwhp with his vortech on stock internals. KB running 12-13psi should see 400+.
If you have all the bolt ons + heads, cams, you could see 300+rwhp and easily in the 12's

WOW...Dude it totally depends on your car....Do you have a manual or auto?....I've seen some Vert's dyno slightly higher than coupes...So it's hard to say....My vert bone stock was doing about 228. My brothers 02 GT was doing 225....bone stock...
Once he added a steeda stage three kit he jumped up to around 255 rwhp...he paid around a Grand or something for the kit.
Adding a blower like a KB would put you up around the 360-370 rwhp with a good tune and freer flowing exhaust...But honestly I wouldn't recommend a KB to my worst enemy.

there's only like what, 200lbs difference? 300? i dunno. so like 2 tenths slower. given the right driver, the vert will run along side or faster than a coupe.
