Here is the deal. I have a 4# lower, Apten polished and ported blower with 2.8 and stock size pulley, NGK TR6's, 170* stat, and predator tuner. I was planning on purchasing a C&L plenum, JLP ram air kit, JLP inlet pipe and a couple other misc parts. My question is for the cost of all the parts I was going to buy I'm like almost half way to a KB. If I sell the Apten get my tax return I will almost have enough to buy the KB. Should I just go for the KB? If I do I wont be able to afford the other parts for a while. Will the KB with no other mods except the tune make more power then what I have plus the parts I was planning on buying? Need some input here.
Thanks

 

Anybody???

 

The KB gets better performance than all the rest of that crap combined. I've learned and i just bought a new block & transmission, & T-76 Turbo becuase I'm tired of the usual game..

1. Buy Parts
2. Dyno
3. Dyno the next week to get it perfect
3. Do it over again

If I we're you I'd buy a t-67 turbo and call it a day, it's only 1k more than the KB

??? Buy turbo and no tuning neccessary??? I am getting you right. I'm not sure about this but wouldint it almost be the same game anyway???

 

SCT is included with the turbo

 

So the programer doesnt need to be tuned when you start changing boost levels and parts? I'm still a little confused.

 

All I can say is the KB rocks. I've had one on my daily driver for almost 20k miles. You might want to think about your stock internals if you plan to run significant boost though. I've seen several guys blow their engines trying to run a bunch of KB boost.

 

I get a SCT chips with four tunes, the dyno tunes are included in the turbos price if I remember.

 

I was only planning to run it with the 4# lower I have. Not much more on the stock bottom end. How much power can you make off the KB with a stock bottom end?
Thanks
