My engine is a completley stock internal 5.0 of 1995. The only thing that is fixing to change in the fuel injectors, (i want more power) When i bought the car it was at 8psi and ran great with the stock injectors and internals. I also have a CAI, Short throw, Exhuast, and 3.73 gears. If you just want a fun and easy to put on blower get the KB. Everytime i go WOT the rear tires break loose. i love it. its like having a big block undder the hood. Its rather exspensive. $3K but in my opinion its worth it for the power, and the whistle when i drive.

I also vote for KB. It is very streetable and there is very little waiting for full boost. I also have a lot of mods done, but, you can do those easy down the road. The KB blower comes off the engine prettly quickly and you don't have to buy a whole other upper intake (or lower if you want to stick with the stocker).

I'm only running 7.5lbs of boost. Those are my real dyno numbers at the wheels. Not guesswork. :comando:

That's really good torque output. Those numbers tell me you are breathing through stock heads, intake, and exhaust. Just wait until you upgrade those!

My s/c pulley is actually a 16# pulley for use with my underdrives. If i went to the stock crank pulley, I would blow my block apart in no time. Once I get some miles on my engine (I only have 35K on the car), I will buy a built shortblock and then turn up the boost. Then I will really make use of the higher flow parts that I have.

That's exactly what I got last summer. The 2.2L Blowzilla cost $3400 from KB. As far as I know. The only difference between the Cobra and the GT kit is the output manifold on the blower. I went with the Cobra manifold because I have a GT 40 lower.
