OK ladies and gents I would love to put a kenne bell supercharger on my 2000 gt from what I understand kenne bell designed their supercharger to work with stock internals of the motor is there anything I should do in addition to the supercharger any suggestions are definitely welcome thanks in advance

 

Bigger brakes.

 

Bigger brakes, which also usually means a new set of rims and tires r in order as well. More supportive seats like Sparco's or Recaros, and even though they can run on the stock bottom end i would still try to add some forged and upgraded parts in there just to be safe. Especially if u wanna turn the boost up later down the road

 

OK I was thinking bottom end as well but that's an extra 3000 at best

 

You can get away with a stock bottom end but you'll have to run low boost, no more then 5-6 psi.

 

How much does this kit run?

 

If i remember right its a few thousand for everything you need

 

I think the 2.6l kit was $6k last I looked. The 2.1 or 1.8 should be cheaper

 

I'm pretty sure everything from kenne bell is 4200 but bottom end kits are about 1200 and if you can't do it yourself its about another 1500 and what the fun in running low boost

 

Rather run low boost then no boost until you can build the motor.

 

True but if you do happen to blow your motor your supercharger is going with it

 

No thats not very likley unless you spit a rod right through the middle of it. If you blow you motor you dont necessarily loose you intake, or heads, or cams. Its very unlikely that an damage would happen were you motor to let go. That being said, the 4.6 are very boost responsive even on stock internals. They can very easily and safely handle upwards of 400hp for years without any issues . You fully build the bottom end then you in the 600-800 hp range and it comes down to what the stock iron block can handle, not the internals.

In the end, its what you feel comfortable with, all im saying is that its very possible to boost with a stock bottom end, many people do it with great results and no issues . I would love to see you build the motor and push that kind of power but you dont need to be built to boost.

 

Oh OK that makes sence I would love to just make 400 and if I can do it safely that would be even better thanks for all the posts and replies

 

400 is attainable on the stock bottom but thats right there on the border. Shouldnt have problems but dont be entirely surprised if something does happen. Either way let us know if you actually s/c ur stang and keep us updated! (:

 

So is it possible to use the Eaton supercharger from an 03 04 cobra I have been searching online but haven't found ****

 

Gonna take a good bit of work. Vortec kit would be easier.

 

That's what I thought but you can find Eaton's online for 400 to 600 so I was thinking the Eaton would be more cost effective

 

If you factor in the cost of the other work to fit it youd be mich better off with the vortexh kit

 

Yeah your probably right I just wish money grew on trees plus I think the vorthech s/c looks better

 

The power comes on smoother and you get to save your mpg's a bit. The thing about your centrifugals is that they dont make you lose your mpg's as much as a roots or twin screw blower
