[QUOTE="SlowShelby_TX, post: 16417456, member: 195758"] So I recently picked up an ultra low mileage 2014 (7 miles). I still have my 2010 GT500 that I bought about 9 years ago with 4k miles on it (has close to 102k now). 6 or so years ago, about bout a KB 2.8 set up for that car, but never installed it. I figured after I did the pullies and stuff, that it was "fast enough" at the time and didn't want to break anything. So the blower has been sitting. Fast forward to today, and the 2014 is a virgin. It is high miles now (just over 300, lol) but I am torn about which way to go. I am not sure If I should slap that KB 2.8 kit on, and recoup some money from the stock blower that would probably cover the install cost if I am lazy, or buy the XBA inlet and use the KB TB with a pulley. I could maybe get some money for the 2.8 kit w/o the TB, but not sure what at this point since the game has changed a bit. The car will most likely just be a pump gas car, and probably never see the strip. It will surely have R--comps on it full time shortly, but just so it is more fun and safer to make some hits/pulls when someone feels froggy. I remember Van made around 750whp on pump with the 3" pulley on a 2.8 and a mid-pipe, and I think that is probably about as far as I would want to take a stock block anyways. It seems I could get there easier with the 2.8, and the lower torque probably won't mean too much to me. I would imagine it will still be fun. Although I may do headers instead of just the mid pipe. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
