Re: Official Whipple/KB/Eaton HP/TQ/mods thread:
sorry didn't fully read, yea if stock goes out, pay for a build motor, it will be worth it in the end. also be less money spent in the future

Re: Official Whipple/KB/Eaton HP/TQ/mods thread:
Thanks for your help. That's what I keep hearing is that with only 8lbs and a proper tune everything should be fine. The car is not a dd. I figure I can build the motor later, but for now just keep it down. It will take a while before I can convince my wife to give me more money for a build!
From what I understand the kit has everything I would need. I was told the stock fuel pump with a boost a pump is ok up to 500rwhp. I will post my numbers when it gets done. |

Re: Official Whipple/KB/Eaton HP/TQ/mods thread:
I'm looking for advice here.
I have 16K on my 2003 (black on black) manual, and I really love this car! I'm also in love with the 2011 Shelby, but to get one of those I'd have to trade in the Mach, and I really don't want to do that. Like someone else in this thread said, one of the reasons I love this car so much is the shaker. That just screams cool to me. I have to believe that 550 in this car will spank those Shelbys every time, for a heck of a lot less money! I'd like to make 600, but that's probably pushing it for a stock motor - what is a reasonable number to shoot for without building the motor? (That will come later when I shoot for 800!:D) I'm a firm believer in positive displacement. I installed an intercooled Whipple on my Expedition myself, and that was awesome, I really liked it. I was at a car show yesterday and I saw a Mach with a Vortech that made 631, but those just don't do it for me. I want the low and mid-range torque that you get from a PD blower. Is the KB is the only option for keeping the shaker??? I saw a reference to modified brackets for the Whipple, but no pics. So, first question: On a stock motor running pump gas, do I go with a Whipple or a KB or something else??? I want one that is intercooled for sure. What kind of numbers can i expect from each? I've installed a Whipple before, and that wasn't too bad at all. The instructions were pretty decent with lots of pics. How does the KB install go? Are their instructions good? What about longevity? I've seen quite a few references to 10 and 15K on the KB with no problems. What about the Whipple? (I had 15K on mine before I sold it with no problems, summer and winter driving, so I guess I'm not too worried about Whipple. Although I did talk with Art quite a bit a few years ago about the problems they were having with belts coming off of the Mustangs. I think they re-designed the snout and the problem went away. Second: What else do I need/do you recommend??? Drive shaft, clutch, gears, fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel rails and injectors, oilpan, larger throttle body and/or MAF, which CAI, or anything else? Also, what size tires are you guys running? Any specific suspension mods to get the power to the ground? Sorry for the long post, I know its a lot to ask. I have so many questions and I've found that if you want get the right answers, you have to ask the guys who have gone before you. :worship::worship::worship: So I appreciate your reading this, and I'm looking forward to getting some great advice!!! |

I bought the KB because I didn't have the time to piece together a used Termee setup that was complete down to the last nut/bolt and washer. If I did I would have gone that route and put a Whipple on it. The KB makes great hp and instant grunt down low, or anytime for that matter. It doesn't however make outstanding peak torque. I've had mine on for 6k @9lbs and make 486/423 unadjusted. My best time is an 11.8 @116. While I would like that extra torque your average pullied Termee or whippled Cobra does, I don't think my stock reciprocating assembly would hold any more.. especially for this long. So, on a stock Mach block I recomend the KB. Hope this helps answer your question.

Re: Official Whipple/KB/Eaton HP/TQ/mods thread:
You cannot run a Whipple on a stock motor. And if you want to run a Whipple you'll need $15,000 minimum.

If you want plug and play, get the KB. If you want POWER - then you'll have to switch over to the Cobra dual belt set-up and get the non-mach KB kit or a whipple set up. When I went with my KB, I was very happy. I did have challenges, though. My clutch started to slip more (car only had 15k miles on it), the transmission broke, I snapped a half shaft (I have an IRS swap from a Cobra), and I've cracked my differential housing twice. I had to go with an upgraded clutch from ProMotion Powertrain and a newly rebuilt Viper T-56 from ProMotion with an AL driveshaft. You might want to consider an upgraded differential as well - not a must...but a nice. I say leave the Mach alone otherwise you'll be spending a minimum of $10k to get the kind of numbers you're looking for. If you are happy with mid 400 RWHP, then bolt on the KB...but that'll still cost you about $6.5k or so. Personally, I wish I had been able to afford a Termi...lol Now the Mach is here to stay just because so much $$$ is in it. Eventually something with factory power will be added to the stable - but I don't want to have another Mach 1 experience like this one personally. I miss the days of reliability and being able to beat the piss out of the car with no worries. Now I beat the piss out of the car, it's a lot of fun, but something breaks every year/few thousand miles. |
Re: Official Whipple/KB/Eaton HP/TQ/mods thread:
If you're talking 500hp at the flywheel, which is mid-400's to the rear wheels, that might be doable on an all stock motor, but a really good dyno tune is going to be a necessity!
The KB intercooled 9psi kit is a direct bolt-on. Whipple doesn't make a blower that will fit a Mach 1 without first doing an "Eaton swap." I'm running an Aluminator, all forged crate motor with my KB 2.1 @16lbs. of boost. I upgraded the reared, rear axles, and rear suspension, but I'm still running the original TR3650 5-speed, and so far, I haven't broken it! |
Re: Official Whipple/KB/Eaton HP/TQ/mods thread:
Thanks for the input everybody.:ORANGE:
I didn't realize the Whipple wasn't a bolt on - glad to find out now rather than later!!! I've been fighting myself all along trying to keep this stock, now it sounds like maybe that's the path I should stay on. Either way, I still love this car:gears: Thanks again |

Re: Official Whipple/KB/Eaton HP/TQ/mods thread:
this thread may have just cost me 5-10k.. ha... dont think i can continue life any longer without forced induction :) Time to step it up.. !! I have a 2001 camry that i never drive thats mechanically flawless that i can get 4-5k for... im half way there already :) sick
Question and some thoughts....... KB is claiming gains of 13hp for each psi... so a 5psi kit non intercooled would produce 65 hp at the wheels... however, they claim a 01 cobra pushes out 400rwhp with the 5psi kit which surpasses the termi's output... "Even without an intercooler, the Kenne Bell 5 psi kit (5.5 psi peak) outpowers the '03 Cobra with 8.5 psi peak boost" if your getting gains of 13 hp at the wheels for each psi how does a 01 cobra produce 400 rwhp with only 5psi? just curious what im missing here Im confused of their numbers b/c this just doesnt add up... I'd probably go without the intercooler to start b/c i need to start a little bit at a time.. if i just jump to the 9psi than i'll need more anyway b/c no matter how much power ya put down ya get use to it than want more anyway... however, dropping down over 5k for 65rwhp doesnt add up for me (if im right what i said above about the 13rwhp per psi) id probably have to just spend a little more to get that over 100... |
Re: Official Whipple/KB/Eaton HP/TQ/mods thread:
Kenne Bell speak with forked tongue, Kemo Sabe. You may want to just take all their verbal nonsense with a grain of salt. They contradict themselves alot!
One thing though, please don't even consider getting a non-intercooled twin screw blower! That's one decision you definitely will regret down the road, because these things are friggin heat pumps! |
