LOL... You will be happy and I don't want to be the bad guy here, but there is NO WAY, NO HOW you will see a 10 sec slip on 10 psi with ANY FI kit, the KB included.


Mid-high 11's are about your best realistic hope to shoot for. Once you brake past mid 11's - it is a whole nother' ballgame to get faster. I do like your enthusiasm though..lol


With a good tuner - you can run 10 psi all day on pump gas with no worries.

Enjoy and relish in the fact you've made an excellent decision.

Theres a terrible thing about the KB ... it will make you step on the gas 10X more than before ! and with gas prices ... yeah that can be bad lol

alright. . .i didn't pull that outta my *** there fordfanboy. . .

page 7 of this article reads. . .

Had Burcham been able to powershift, he probably could have lowered his e.t.s by two-tenths. Had McGowan been able to replace his belt and route it properly, he may have gone 10s.

the article is . . . http://www.musclemustangfastfords.co..._shootout.html

i even linked ya to page seven. . . for ease of find. . .

that was the 2.4. . . im getting the 2.6 . . .


mid high 11's on street tires would def be a task. . .but i don't have street tires for the track. . . i have the mickeys just like these boys had

Keep in mind the mustangs in the mm&ff had some other mods besides the SC, like 4.10´s, short throw, clutch,some suspension. exhaust, etc.
The whipple numbers above are from a 100% stock mustang and with the SC, nothing else.

4.10's. . . got'em

suspension. . . on the way . . .

shifter. . . bah. . . i shift fast'nuff

clutch. . . coming at the same time as the Kenne Bell . . .

as for tires. . . got them too . . . I'm running 12.85 in a stock motor 3V right now, i know how hard it is to make fast times . . .

FYI. . . take that 1.77 second drop from a "100%" stock stang and put that on mine . . . what's that close too . . . yeah. . . my car has a 12.76 pass in it now . . . i was just a dumbass and ran a full tank of gas with the spare tire still in . . .

oh yeah, i will get 10's

10´s are hard to get ... specially with only 10 psi of boost
About the 12.76 pass .... remember that most of the bolt ons you used to get that number u wont use them anymore, like pulleys, cai, TB if u have one, etc. so u wont be starting from the 12.76, more like low 13´s almost as a stock stick GT.

I would get some exhaust and aluminum DS, they might help you with a .2 - .3 sec at best.

Whippled 13lbs and did a 11.43

No way youre going to pull 10's with 10lbs and a stock motor. If you look at the difference in times there was a turbo that ran 24lbs and did a 9.7
thats alot more boost
