Kenne Bell, Procharger or turbo

89fox5.0 · February 13th, 2007, 04:58 PM

Which one of these systems would be best for a stang that will be mostly driven on the street, but still taken to the strip once in a while. Most of the inputs I have heard so far point towards a KB, just wanted to see some opinions here

sn-95aac · February 13th, 2007, 07:03 PM

ANOTHER VOTE FOR TURBO.IT IS THE MOST EFFICIENT POWER ADDER

Turbo gives you the most options from mild to wild in the furture. Go turbo.

A Procharger is basically a belt driven turbo. If you are gonna wind past 6000RPM, go turbo or ATI. A KB will give you a nice flat torque curve, but be limited to a by RPM. A turbo, in a sense, is free power, in that it offers no parasitic loss. But, lag, can, not always, but can be an issue. A turbo car owner needs to exercise a certain degree of patience. Pending how much boost you want to run, a Procharger will outrun a turbo, and vise versa. I have owned turbo, NA and S/C. I like boost. Of any type.

Your turbos give you free kinetic energy?? What about back pressure? I'm just asking about the free kinetic energy, because those top fuel guys with their big fancy blowers may want to look into this.

Oh my god kinetic energy... Which guy said that and he sounds like he's from Harverd Univeristy...

Turbo's spool great amount of power, you can adjust boost as you need, more powerful that blowers and that's that. No need for throwing physics. Make sure your heads will take the extra air smoothly and make sure your block won't crack to big time shits when you first decide you want to whomp it. Also, backpressure is nothing you need to worry about, I've seen t60 turbos run on bone stock cars and no lose of power Although I would recommend a good set of Patriot or Mac pipes about 2 /34 or 3".
