Not yet. We limited it to about 10 psi, still running pump 93. 625 to the wheels. Long term plans will be a built shortblock, some head work, bigger TB and upping the boost. It's plenty strong for now though!Originally posted by KungFuHamster View PostSonicBlue,
did you do any other upgrades to the motor when you added the KB?

Looks great, I was wondering why you still had the factory TB and not using a Mammoth TB, the factory TB looks to be very restrictive compared the to the mammoth elbow and CAI tube. I would think that would help it run more efficient, free up more ponies and still be able to use 93 octane.Originally posted by SonicblueGT03 View PostNot yet.

The KB 167mm TB is said to be worth around 50 hp just bolting it on. The factory tb is a good piece, but just a little small. According to the KB site, it's good up to around 550 hp, so we're already a good way past that. Once back from Ohio in May (we rent a track for the day up there, a little forum get together for some racing fun) I'll get the TB installed and have it retuned. For now, I've got some more suspension bits, new shifter and a few other goodies I need to get done before then.Originally posted by Rick Modena View PostLooks great, I was wondering why you still had the factory TB and not using a Mammoth TB, the factory TB looks to be very restrictive compared the to the mammoth elbow and CAI tube.

There are a ton of really nice 5.0's in here! Some good photographers also! Nice to see all the different setups.
Here is mine. I love it! It is now sporting the Boss Laguna Seca wheels in 19 X 11.75 in the rear with 345 nitto drag radials. I drove it to the track the other day and decided to make a couple passes. On 18" drag radials it went 6.16@117 and 6.11@118 with a 1.46 60'. This is full weight of a loaded car, stock 6 speed auto, stock converter, stock 3.15 rear gears. Extremely streetable!


Blue 99 cobra with flames 7.7@180, 4.9@146 in the 1/8 on 275 radials. Getting it done on a true 10.5" tire, with a 3.5" bore, 32 valves, and 4 cams.
The daily: Sonic blue 03 Cobra with twins 1,063rwhp @ 25 psi
The daily part 2: Kona Blue 2011 5.0 KB 4.2l KB, AR headers & midpipe, 25psi on E-85 900+RW thru the stock auto.
9.91@138.8 on 18's full weight with 750RW
