I put the Down payment on a New TKO600. They are having a sale on them for 1999.99 Brand New. So I guess if you are looking for a New Tranny to replace the old T-45 like I got. Its not a bad price considering summit and others are like 2300.00Ok so the reason I am making this thread is cuz I would like to get some input. Does anyone have a 99-04 GT with A Kenne Bell 2.1, specifically do you live in California?I live in CA and all we have here is 91 octane so that makes a difference from fellow stangers in states where 93 is offered. I got a 96 GT here but the new motor is a basic PI engine so thats why I say 99-04.what kind of numbers are you putting down? What is your compression and boost levels? do you have any major problems? so on and so on.I got the ticket here from MMR and what I have ordered is a Street Mod 600 with a Forged 6 Bolt crank (so technically im a streetmod 750 but still a standard 4.6) with a 9.5:1 compression.I got the ARP head and main studs and a MMRStreet/racing Oil pump.I have time to change the order so i figured I would squeeze as much research out that i can before I get the engine on March 1st.I called Kenne bell and talked to a guy there, Mark I think it was. He said the compression of 9.5 was perfect. he also said 9-10lbs of boost. Mostly because the fuel in CA. However I talked to Gonzalo @ GTR High Performance and i gathered from him around 12lbs of boost was the max for 91 octane. No one wants to blow up or detonate their engine, so I just wanted to get some specs from people who are doing good with kenne bell 2.1. but every story has 2 sides, how about the bads. who blew up their engine? what was the specs on that?thanks from a person that wants his engine to last.</blockquote>
