I have been looking at supercharger kits for my '99 Mustang; the engine (4.6 2V) has 20k miles on it and has the following engine-related mods-
Accufab 75mm throttle body and plenum, Underdrive pulleys, K & N CAI
Bassani OR X-pipe, Pypes Racing Mufflers, Steeda Stainless Steel Cat-Back exhaust, Meziere Electric Water Pump, Accel Hi-Voltage Spark Plug Coils, and a Diablosport Tune (93 octane). The car has a 3.73 rear and 5-speed transmission.

I have narrowed my search to 3 kits:
1. Tork Tech Eaton 113 Kit
2. Kenne-Bell 2.1
3. Procharger 1-SC
All of the kits are intercooled; only the Procharger is air-to-air.
What are the pluses and minuses of each unit?

randy...
whats up?
imo...kb all the way...plus the complete tork tech kit will cost you almost as much....so go with kb.
just wondering....why not vortech...did you consider them?

As far as prices go, the KB was in the middle of the group with only $400 separating the high and the low. I did consider the Vortech as well. The Tork Tech, Procharger, and KB kits just seemed to be better kits.

if its gunna remain a daily driver id like to see you get a roots blower on it....KB or torq. those cars lack "grunt" from the factory

if its going to become more of a racer the centi is better, more HP potential and if gradual power increase instead of instant power of a roots blower

figure out what YOU really want and get back to us

Kenne Bell....loveee mine :3gears:
Like said earlier...depends on what u want. I drive mine on the street and there's nothing like the instant boost and whine of a KB...433Tq at the wheels for me. And u feel every oz. Of it

most modular guys use a roots blower....those cars lack some TQ stock and dont have major cooling issues

gotta remember u are asking modular guys and most of what they know are roots blowers like the KB

im more of a CENRTI blower guy, but i have my reasons for that

as i said before....throw out a budget, goals and aspirations...and ill give u a real answer instead of just yelling "KB KB KB KB KB" because thats all most people around here have experience with
