Nice photo.

Anyway to get a photo of the back of the blower? (public or private)
I'd like to see what they did with the vacum line locations.

Is there any height difference between the stock Eaton and this KB?

Thank you.

Vinnie,

Ask her if she would rather have Diamonds or that Blower. If she says Diamonds tell her she failed the test and you are off to the Nudie Bar.

Man, I hope this is something that the next Cobra platform will be able to utilize. I'm friggin' salivating here.

Tell her there was a recall!; put a flip chip in it with a real dog program on one side.....you'll probably get busted.

Just don't do it and tell her its her birthday, anniversary or Xmas present.

Am I missing something?

When I pushed my '96 up to 600 rwhp, we had to modify all kinds of components to accomodate that kind of power.

We didn't just slap on a 25 psi blower and call it a day.

There were fuel issues (I.E. fuel lines, high volume pump, 60 lb injectors, fuel rails, etc) to support that kind of hp.

The spark necessary to ignite that fuel had to be improved, the cooling system was improved, the air induction, the exhaust, and not to mention the tranny, drive train clutch, rear end, brakes and engine management system.

Am I hearing this right?

Just the blower, a chip, a boost a pump and 55 pound injectors?

Seems too easy.

Your '96 wasn't making damn near 400 hp from the factory either. I'd say 600 hp is just the beginning of what can be done with the '03 Cobra engine, considering the strength built into it from the factory.

Just the facts...

You know, i just noticed that KB Cobra kit uses an adapter plate. Something KB has always slammed Works over.

KB *states* this supercharger is low-class and is a source of potential problems.

From KB's brochure, on using an adapter plate: "We decided "adaptors" lacked class and commitment and were a source of potential problems."

Haha, this is not a slam, but if you scroll up to the pic of the other KB kits, they all use un-classy adapter plates! Ripping on something the competition uses, when it's something you do, sure sounds like doubletalk to me.

As usual, you speak from knowledge that you dont posses.

Have you ever seen a 03 Cobra setup? and what the blower sits on?

Maybe you should educate yourself before you make another negative post about KB's, but thats not your style now is is? You slam KB's any chance you get and singlehandedly make intelligent people that stand behind the works blower look bad.
