Looks good. After you do the rest of your suspension you should be set. The only thing I can think of is sub frame connectors. You need all the help you can get putting that power to the ground

In my opinion.The 2.6 is overkill with a stock block. At least that's what KB told me.[/align]You would also have to buy a taller hood to fit the 2.6.[/align]

Im not sure how complete the kit comes, but i would definitly look at upgrading your throttle body, Air meter,and fuel pump and injectors ahead of time or you can wait and do all that when you put the supercharger on, its the only way you will get the full potential.

Mate of mine has a KB on his 05 GT. We're getting our cars dynotuned together saturday. He was at 500 rwtq. He just put in a 13lb pulley and done some other stuff. Hence the retune. I have an 11lb spring and boost controller, good for 20 lbs, but will not touch the controller untilshort block is changed.We both still have stock motors. I am planning on built short block in October. Until then everyday that the motor stays whole....is a good day. By the way, the KB looks awesome underhis stockhood.

i havent seen any tt setups ecxept for sts but i personally dont like the rear mount turbo system....im sure its a great setup but i want people to see it when i pop the hood. anyways im sure when alot of tt systems do come out im not goin to get'em for the same price as a KB. but i could be wrong!
