Alright guys, I need some help. I was on eBay the other day and I came across an "almost brand new" Kenne Bell supercharger. The guy was asking $3100 for it, but he said it doesn't come with everything you need. I asked him what else was needed, and he said if your car is already supercharged, it doesn't need much, but if it isn't already supercharged, he said I "had better have some deep pockets."

I have a 2002 stock GT. The only thing I've done to it so far is a Bassani catback and a K&N air filter intake.

I wanna put a Kenne Bell on my car. I know it's gonna cost a lot, but what I need to know is what exactly do I have to buy / what exactly do I have to do to my engine in order to get this thing supercharged? :confused: Help!

If the guy is willing to give you a parts list of what he is selling, i would be able to let you know what else you would need to make the know work with your car. I would also be able to let you know what these parts would cost you.

It sounds like i would be able to give you a better deal on a new kit, then this would end up costing you in the end.

It would def. be cheaper to buy a full kit then to just buy the KB and everything else, your gonna be nickel and diming everything if you we're to buy just the KB alone with just buying stuff needed for it and end up costing you more.

Well my problem now is this: my boyfriend's cousin is friends with the guy who owns Mustang Magic, and he said that a Kenne Bell on my car would rip apart my [automatic] transmission. He recommended a Vortech Supercharger, but it's just not the same. I want the sound of a Kenne Bell.

With a good valvebody installed in the 4R70W you should be fine with a Kenne Bell and around 7-8lbs of boost. For an auto car I'd want a positive displacement SC for sure. I have a Vortech myself but on a modular car that is auto I'd want a roots or twin screw!

Why dont you and your BF go too Mustang Magic and talk to Joe directly? This way they can fill you in on costs and whatever else you would need too know. Its worth your while to get the advice of people that do this sort of thing for a living. And yes I am a big time customer of MM. If you go tell Joe Floyd sent you , GOOD LUCK with whatever you decide too do.
