Swapping to the KB

Well it's 75% now, but im thinking about swapping to the 2.4L KB...Im happy with my new found power, but have the itch for more...I also figure that ive already voided my warranty, so why not go all out? Anyways, I will keep you guys updated and let you know when it's official...700rhwp here I come

I was at my friend's shop one day, talking to him about my Dad's Lighting. They had recently installed a KB blower on one and said it made an extra 90HP at the wheels!!! I guess just the cooler, more efficient air that the KB makes, makes a big difference. Good luck!! How much do the blowers go for? I wouldn't mind getting one for my Dad.

I know 600rwhp is very easy on the KB, but 700, is that really obtainable?

either way that is sick.

it's attainable with the 2.4L--they go for roughly $4k---but im gonna swap the cams/heads too...hoping to have it all done by springtime, just have to wait and see...I also shopped the Whipple's and Procharger's--liked the power from the PC, but didnt want the lag/build up from the Centrifugal style

I've seen plenty of 03-04 Cobras with 2.4s and a conservative tune put 600-625 HP to the wheels....If you change the heads and cams....I think 700hp is attainable.....whachya' gonna do about the tranny though???
