Ive been doing quite a bit of research into this. its down to a 2.6l kb, a twin -turbo setup, or a big single turbo. the motor is a built and stroked 2v with a p1sc-2 on it right now. car makes 537 rwhp/445 rwtq. im kind of leaning to the 2.6kb, because I like the full boost from about 2000rpm's and up and i also like the fact i can save some money by not having to switch to a k-member not that that is a deal breaker though.the main reason i want to go turbo is to get close to that 4-digit rear wheel hp number. but then i started thinking there's always gonna be someone out there faster than meand how much hp do you really need. so I think its gonna be the 2.6 just wanted some opinions from others, thanks for your time.
2v, which way to go

Stick with what you have. Make it safer (intercool, aftercool it) and run more boost. Thats my opinion.
Prochargers come with a FMIC. So he's already intercooled. The 2.6 would increase the fun factor I think. Since the boost will be there whenever you step on it. But I know a properly sized turbo can spool pretty quick too.
What is your current CR on the motor?
Good question.
i would pick the kenne bell love the sound and how its like instant boost when u step on it
kb ftw. theres nothin like a pd blower
Out of curiosity, what's your bottom end set up?
its a cobra block, with all forged internals
What is your current CR on the motor?
compression ratio i believe is 8.5:1
What is your fuel system?
fuel system is ther, not quite finished though. 75# inj., cobra tank with dual gt-40braided lines up to the rails pumps,i think they're -6 to -8 know i need to upgrade the fpdm

I have had both KB's and Procharger's, and I prefer the twin screw KB for running around on the street and the occassional strip jaunt....just more fun down low, IMO. Plus, the KB will be a little simpler to get set-up and running....
I see you're from RI. Curious...who does your work/tuning?
is your car blue by any chance? if its the car i'm thinking its beautiful. i say to try to get a ride in both setups. i like the simplicity of a belt driven blower like pd and centris. i had big single turbo setups in my old grand nationals and yes they do make tons of power but constantly needed tuning. i agree...skip the 2.6 and get a 2.8h. you could always try a F1 and more boost but your probally just bored of the procharger. oh ya what rear gears you running?
The F1 wil fit in your current bracket. It would probably be the easiest swap out of all of them. It won't get you the low end of a KB though.

Dez,built the motor on the car and put the procharger and the tuning. But, when I decide what Im doing, whether, its the turbo or the kenne bell, the car will be going to karl's east coast speed in warwick. he tuned an 03 cobra that i bought with a 2.8h kb. car made 687 rwhp, so i figure ill let him see what he can do with my car.

No, I have a black saleen with with 20" xxr rims, and 20k hids. Also, i had a 2.8H kenne bell cobra that made 687rwhp. the salee mad 538rwhp. I loved the pull of that kb, thats y I think Im gonna switch to kb. Also, from what Ive been told the 2.8h doesnt fit on the 2v motor or believe it woulve been swapped

i guess i havnt seen yours yet, stll sounds nice though! i met a guy from prov a couple months ago. he had a black saleen/gt clone vert. it had a built 2v and what he said was a 2.8??? he had the fore hat and twin gt pumps but was having issues with the socks pinching the bottom of the tank. ya dez did my stuff too. my engine is stock hence the low numbers from the d1.
are you thinking about this car?
and i think if you want big power go turbo or if you want a decent street car then go with the kennebell. Dez racing is awesome. i have to get my car tuned there as soon as i get the turbo on.
