I'm considering a KB Blowzilla kit for my 5.0L, any opinions out here?</P>


I'm really not looking for maximum power, just a little more WOW factor when I raise the hood.. tell me what y'all think.. </P>


btw... my car is a '69 Shelby GT350 with late amodel power train... I'll post a pic once I get my other computer back on line...</P>

I always like that mix, of a classic car with a newer type motor in the bay. Thats always a eye catcher.

<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=black size=3>Thanks for the input guys... </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=3>I built the car starting in 1992 and have been on the road since '94 with it... Ten years later, it's time for some updates and upgrades. It is currently over at Texas Chasis Works in Tyler, TX for some shock tower reinforcements (I saw some of these bars on a road race car this past summer... very cool stuff... and functional too..) any way, going with new 17" wheels and tires from a late gen SVT Cobra, lowering the entire car by about two inches or so, and then the 'charger for the 5.0L EFI... should add about 125 horse power at only 6 psi... the KB blowzilla kit is good for about 14 psi with the right combo.. but again, my goal is not maximum perfromance, but more power never hurts anything... next winter, I'm planning to upgrade the engine to a 5.8/351" Windsor as originally came in the car.. only mine will utilize the Ford EFI and the KB blower...</FONT></P>


<FONT face=Arial size=3>Anyone have any good sources on the wheels for me? I've checked out a few source on line... seems there are plenty of price differential between the various vendors...</FONT></P>

You can get 4934 other blowers out there at half the cost of a KB.</P>

Yea, I know the are many less expensive alternatives to the KB deal... but I'mlookin' for some additional WOW! factor when I open the hood at thecar shows/meets that I attend... right now, as is, I get alot of "A 5.0L? Is that all ya' got in there? What they don't realize is that my car probalby is quicker, faster, and get better fuel milage now, than it ever could have imagined when new... but alsokeep in mind the mentality of many of these Shelby fanatics... if it's not 100% original, they crap on themselves... My car is a far from original as I could make it... and if I've missed something, I'll change that too... (Ooops, kinda got off the subject there...)</P>


Anyway, the KB kit replaces the entireupper FI plenum, looks great, appears to be better engineered than many of the other kits and doesn't require an innercooler at low boost levels. It is quite expensive at 3400.00, but that's what I'm leaning towards... unless someone can convince me otherwise...</P>


Has anyone had a bad expeprience with KB? Talk to me...</P>


Thanks, mardyn</P>

Dan02GT took my question. the KB is going to give you a little more than "alittle", and will take a little more than alot of money. whatever HP that is left over that you don't want, pass it this way....<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"></P>


good luck with the car....</P>
