Anyone here with a 2v mod?

[KENNEBELL2.6]

Just curious if anyone else on here has a 2v 4.6 with a kenne bell and what kind of numbers you make or any other info.

[jtcstrat]

2v with a vortech, whats your specs, mods, numbers?

[KENNEBELL2.6]

I have not got the blower on it yet Im still saving for it but the motor is done. Ive got the iron block with pi heads, diamond pistons, eagle h beams, crower stage 2 cams, and a cobra crank. The compression is 10:1. At 10lbs of boost lidio said it should be some where around 410-430 to the wheels. Does this soud accurate? It will be the 2.6 kennebell.

[jtcstrat]

I would say close to that sounds pretty good, have you checked out svtperformance.com?

They have lots and lots of info there, you can proly find more info there.

[sardeanie]

Yes, that sounds accurate. I'm running a 2.6(non-H) and maxxing boost out at less than 17 lbs. Ihave all sorts of other goodies though. My car is on Lidio's site. The Orange one.

[KENNEBELL2.6]

Yeah, not to copy but after seeing your car there and the numbers it made I said if Im gonna do a kb thats the only way to go. That thing is bad ass. Have you had it to a track and have you had any problems with it?

[KENNEBELL2.6]

Whats non H ? hope thats not a dumb question

[KENNEBELL2.6]

Im new to this boost stuff.

[sardeanie]

Whats non H ? hope thats not a dumb question

No that's cool. KB makes two versions of the 2.6 a standard and an "H". There is a slight design difference between the two (check out the KB site). To be simple about it the standard version is best for boost up to about 15-16 lbs. and the "H" is designed to go beyond that (20-25 lbs). The standard 2.6 fits my build just fine.

Since the build my car has been awesome! It idles quietly, runs smooth... never a hiccup. I've been to the track only a couple of times and my best is a 10.86 @ 133.4 with a 1.66 60 ft. I'm running 17" Shelby wheels and M&H drag radials through a t-56. Obviously there are better times in it, but that's a good start, eh?

The KB is a pretty piece and it has gobs of torque, making it a blast on the street.

[KENNEBELL2.6]

Awsome. I will probably go with the non h too then 20- 25 is way to much for my motor. Thanks for the info im shure ill have more questions when i think of them. Is there anything you else you might recommend?

[sardeanie]

Good luck, it will be fun. Is that a '96 GT you are putting it in?

[KENNEBELL2.6]

Yes. Im gonna have to get a hood Cobra R hood. I dont have the money to do wat you did with the k member but other than that i want it to look like the stock underdog most of them are.

[sardeanie]

Cobra R looks nice and is light.:cheers:

[KENNEBELL2.6]

Thank for all the info.

[black_bullit]

There was a great article from one of the mustang rags with a KB 2V build up. IIRC the final stage was in the 600+ HP area.

[saleenjames]

It's been my experience, time after time, for Lidio to estimate conservatively and then over deliver. It'll rock! :angel:

[KENNEBELL2.6]

This will be the 5th time hes done work to my car. Im starting to catch on to that. Ive never had a single problem with anything hes done.
