Default kenne bell?

Does anyone have a 5.0 with a kenne bell? How do you like it and how would you compare it to a centrifigul style blower? Also what kind of hp gains should I see on a nearly stock 5.0. Pics and videos too if you got em. Thanx

i don't have one YET. KB advertises an 11.7 on an all stock 05' so i'm guessing we could see mid low 13's since we don't get and intercooler[:@]

I have one. I'm not gonna lie to ya. I had problems, when I first installed it.
Blew a head gasket twice. First time untuned on a stock head gasket.
The second time untuned on SCE head gasket: torqued
to 80 FT. LBS. Now I have a "Tweecer" Tune,( MLS) Head Gaskets, torqued to
100 Ft Lbs. NO PROBLEMS SO FAR. I'm not I/C'ed . I suggest you get an
I/C'er. Centro's cant compare. Every Centro I have met on the SAME LEVEL,
I have decimated. But, ultimately its up to you.

thats going to realy hard to do... KB doesn't make an i/cer for the 5.0 just the 4.6 no other company is legaly allowed to make one because the KB is copyrighted... how ever when i get mine i'll be fabing. and intercooler, and i'll probly be making them so others can buy them, gotta find a loop hole first

I'm trying to decide between a 70mm turbo charger setup or a Kenne Bell S/C kit. I keep looking away from the S/C for fear of cracking the stock block..
