tranny question

98 4.6 stang · January 13th, 2008, 04:32 PM

i have a 98 gt with bolt ons and it has 126,000 miles and the pi conversion has 20,000 miles and im thinking about getting a kenne bell supercharger with about 6 to 9 psi. But i dont know if my tranny will hold I have a t 45 .

Your tranny should hold as long as you dont always beat the shit out of it.

Yea, so minimize on the power shifting.

Just a 5.0 guy asking a question so dont get on me too hard, but...

Would the compression ratio be too high for the Kenne Bell? Assuming you still have the stock block with a PI top end, your CR is most likely at 10.5:1...Is that too high?

Just wondering/learning.

You can run a s/c with that compression but you cant run the amount of boost you would normally run....usually we say 12lbs of boost is the max....well with the PI heads it would be closer to 6 or 8 lbs.

centri would be great. But a KB with 10.5:1 won't perform well. KBs like around 8.7:1 centri like around 9.8:1 for a street car. Ur going to have to run a meth injection or something like that to get rid of detonation.
