With a Kenne Bell your car will drive the same as it does now except your torque curve will raise 100-150 ft-lbs across the entire rpm range. I like them because they deliver a substantial performance gain at all rpm levels and not just above 4500-5000 rpm like a centrifugal. The reason for this is that a twin screw blower will make its full rated boost amount from rpm to redline whereas the boost made by a centrifugal is dependent on the rpm rate. If you have any questions about the KB setup on a 5.0L ask away. I know quite a bit about getting the most from these kits. I have run mine all the way up to 16 psi of boost. |

No, no questions at this time... but let me look and I'm sure I'll be back. Brad |

The odds of me being THE Michael Johnson she is looking for is beyond remote. Although, meeting a 22 year old sweet KY girl may not be a bad thing, if my wife doesn't care. |

This was a legitimate post and I do know that there are several million
Michael Johnson's in the world. The Michael Johnson I am looking for has posted on here, I was just trying to get someone's attention and I did. Thanks for all who responded.
