Just added a Kenne Bell blower

Well I got my Shelby back from the shop. I was able to get a good deal on a take off Kenne Bell 2.8L Mammoth blower. The shop who does all the work on my mustangs called me and told me they would take off $1000 off the price of this used blower (with only 200 miles on it). So of course I said hell yeah!

Unfortunately, I hurt my shoulder last night so I can't even drive it. Maybe in a few days when I'm feelin better.

a place called Kinetic Motorsports, they did the install and the tuning was done by Fastlane. They are on the NW side of Houston (near Jones Rd and FM1960). I don't know if it was because of the heat (near 100 degrees that day) but I'm a little disappointed with the numbers it made (540 at the wheels @13 psi).

Warranty! What's that! The last couple of Mustangs I've had I pretty much tossed the waranty out the window within the first year of I owned them.

Not only do you have a new GT500 but now you are just throwing around superchargers like they are candy? Nooooo, I'm not jealous at all. Not one bit.

That is a great looking car, I would assume you'll be seeing some definite improvement with temps below 100 and the humidity as high as it is. If it doesn't, because we're friends, I'll swap you my 90K mile 2005 GT straight up. I'm here to help.

What a huge difference cooler weather makes

I took my shelby back to Kinetic Morotsports and added long tube headers, throttlebody, cold air intake. Here's the dyno sheet showing the difference.

I am a newbie, but would like to know how you are doing with getting the power to the ground. I have a 2011 GT500 that is stock, and am searching for a solution for straight line traction in 1st and 2nd gear. I have read some about Watts links, but they seem to help roll center in corners. I didn't get the car until it was pretty cool here, so perhaps warmer temps. will help.

Great looking car and awesome dyno sheet!

For sure, it's definitely hard to get traction all the way through 3rd gear now. The only thing that's going to cure that is stickier tires, which means drag radials.
