I find 0 humor in your comment.

Then log off, go do something else and relax abit. No need to be pissy over trivial crap.

[BLK2012GT]

Yeah Steve and Toby. Go handle each other privately.

Yeah, I'm boggled with it myself. Now I'm finding myself conflicted on the situation after his "I'll remember that" comment. I guess I shouldn't have him work on my brakes anytime soon. lol.

So back on topic -

Getting Jeff into some boost!

Could you not run the stock pulley with your current motor on E85 or would you have to change your entire set up?

Probably change the setup. 12.5:1 compression is a lot for boost.

In my opinion I think you would enjoy the boosted set up more. It's more of a set it and forget it deal rather than having to mess with bottles, fillin them up, pressures etc.

Boost is always there and it's silly fun on the street, especially with all that torque from a monster PD blower like that one from Whipple.

Much harder to get decent stats if no one is really running your product. Shelby seemed to like them enough for the Super Snake projects. But they are junk, I understand. And I'm actually less impressed with the KB stuff on the older cars. My kit, right out of the box, with no changes at all (stock pulley, factory throttle body, etc.) made enough power to go 10.80's at 131. Color me impressed. Wonder what she'll do when get around to turning it up? The bottom line is, everyone has an opinion, and that's great. It's exactly what's kept me doing this for the last 35 years. Not everyone has the same ideas, or does the same things. Keeps it interesting.

If you are happy that is fine. Bottom line is the KB just isn't as efficient as the Whipple or Roush kits.

An auto will do wonders for your car.

How much boost? I would like to see some video of said runs if it exists.

Thanks. Sounded good and put up a respectable time.
25lbs. of boost running a 4.2L blower.

That is significantly more to break into the 9's vs. what Justin@VMP did with a 2.3 Roush running less boost on a stock long block:

What I read in his first post was he was at 15psi. But then again I'm kinda drunk right now. Lol

[DirtyD]

WTF happened to my post that I swore I replied to Jeff with?

Damn Tapatalk.

True, thankfully there should be a CAI with it here soon.
