2.8 kenne bell or?

2000roush · August 5th, 2008, 06:42 PM

hey guys.. i have an '08 gt 500 and its quick but as always it can be faster lol i was looking into tossin the Eaton gettin the kenne bell 2.8L.. itd be great to get that cause the power gains would be awesome but its pricy.. since i have a Centrifugal supercharger to begin with would it be easier to just get a new blower? and what else would i need to get if i did that.. hopefully i dont sound retarded im new to superchargers lol

KingKelleyxSHREDx · August 5th, 2008, 06:55 PM

i dont think you have a centri because im pretty sure Eaton uses roots type. the roots type super snake makes 605. the super snake without warranty uses a Kenne Bell and gets over 700 something hp. i say go for it if you want that much power. ever consider turbos?

05mustang_kb_charged · August 5th, 2008, 06:59 PM

Eaton is a roots style supercharger, compresses air in the heads and cylinder. A KB is a twinscrew which compresses air inside the supercharger case which makes it WAY more efficient than the Eaton.

The kit for your GT500 comes complete and all you have to do is bolt it up and hold on.

07 Grabber GT · August 5th, 2008, 07:15 PM

Get the 2.8H ... make sure you have a one piece high HP drive shaft, get a better suspension kit for the rearend and hold the $%#@ on!

2000roush · August 6th, 2008, 12:25 PM

alright so if i buy the kenne bell alls i got to it bolt it on and go? that sounds way to easy lol but i like the sound of it

yojoe600 · August 6th, 2008, 12:39 PM

yea it should be an easy fit and awesome power

07stanggt · August 6th, 2008, 12:41 PM

marylander huh? where are you in MD?

Not interested in some kooks long tubes for that baby are you, i would love to move a set.

Stkjock · August 6th, 2008, 12:56 PM

Not too familiar with the 5.4L, but you may need to upgrade the injectors and you'll probably want a custom dyno tune.

I know that the 2.8L Mammoth are capable of 700 rwhp with higher boost levels.

2000roush · August 6th, 2008, 01:14 PM

im in hagerstown like a half hour west of frederick, and yeah that power gains from that would be sickk.. ill look into everything that i would have to upgrade.. for the most part i should be set the set up is for a lot of horses to begin with

07stanggt · August 6th, 2008, 01:19 PM

Cool. I live in Ellicott City. Im very familar with Hagerstown use to be up there once a week on business. I had clients up there and in martinsville WV.

You ever take that car to the track or go to any mustang events?

I was in frederick two weeks ago i think at a patriot mustangs meet. There was a couple GT500s there.

2000roush · August 6th, 2008, 02:28 PM

i havent taken it to the track yet but i really want to.. a couple of my friends went last weekend but i wasnt around for it, soon though i wana know what shell run

07stanggt · August 6th, 2008, 02:30 PM

get some traction mods on it.

im no expert on the gt500s but i see them run 14s a lot at that track when they are stock.

Your 3.73s will make a world of difference. Just make sure you can hook up.

SUHLeen · August 6th, 2008, 03:33 PM

Get some good meats for the back

And an old neighbor of mine did a KB swap on his GT500 (not sure which KB exactly) but it's badassss. The kit comes with everything and not much needs switched out, especially if you're not looking for too much crazy power lol

05mustang_kb_charged · August 6th, 2008, 03:38 PM

from KB website:

Kenne Bell SCT Flash Tuner and MAF Extender. Kenne Bell calibrated “RACE TUNE” included with each kit.
• Exclusive Kenne Bell Dual BOOST-A-PUMP™ included with all kits. Larger pumps, fuel rails, lines etc. not required.

I would just jump straight to the Stage 3 kit and be done with it. Make sure you atleast spring for the Dual 75mm throttlebody.

07 Grabber GT · August 6th, 2008, 05:13 PM

What he said

2000roush · August 6th, 2008, 05:42 PM

sounds good to me.. i havent checked prices on them yet but i bet its up there.. better start saving lol

1FastFox · August 6th, 2008, 05:56 PM

Time to sell the roush to mod the shelby...

05mustang_kb_charged · August 6th, 2008, 06:11 PM

the complete Stage 3 kit is $5999 which is only $300 more than when I bought mine. Now I purchased a different supercharger and other things. I have over $8,000 just in the supercharger setup.

2000roush · August 6th, 2008, 06:53 PM

i gotcha, and wow 8,000? thats pretty crazy.. i think ill get that kit and let it be lol thats more than enough for what i need.. ive seen a lot about the paxtn novi 2000 (i think thats what it was called), but im thinkin kenne bell would be better

2000roush · August 6th, 2008, 06:54 PM

and yeah im hopin to sell the roush soon. its going to be sad to see it go lol
