Putting on a roots style Kenne Bell blower on a 95 5.0 GT.
Im looking forward to it. Mostly I am looking foward to the test drive though. I can already smell the tire smoke :D:D:D

you have to fill me in on just how much lowend torque those things actually sling.. I heard it's incredible for street driving..

is there a tunner around that is good with the KB Blowers? .... I really wanted one, but I'm thinking about going with an ATI because more people can tune them.

Have you ever installed a roots blower Ian? I seriously want to get up with you guys tomorrow evening to check that thing out first hand. I bet it's a blast.

The Kenne Bell is NOT a roots style blower!

Best known installer in the USA is Tim@Dynotech... He is the one basically responsible for refining the blower for use on teh 5.0L

Hey Ian, you up to modifying the AC lines?

I thought is was considered roots since its not centrifical or what ever.

No ac line mod on SN95, just bent them a little.

Will post picks soon. Still ironing out bugs. Its pinging bad. I think is got n air leak somewhere. Plus Mr Belle told him stock 19 #s would be fine :rolleyes:

KB are fun, my friend has one on his 3800 pound vert with a 351 and pulls 11.5s with MT streets. On street tires he can be going 40 and drop into 2nd, give it WOT and fry the tires through 3rd and into 4th til about 75 or 80 mph! Its scary.
