I hope kenne-bell has plans to make a 2.6 blower for the GT500....I think 700 hp would be on tap at 14-15 lbs on 93 octane...i'd be one of the first to order!
Good point... I forgot about that simple fact from back when I was convincing everyone the turbo was the ultimate power adder (I still firmly believe that).HISSMAN said:Putting 600 down with a turbo is a different story. The blower will be robbing as much as 75-100hp peak. With a Turbo the GT500 could easily and safely see over 700 rwhp with the stock bottom end.

JETSOLVER said:Whipple FRPP supercharger upgrade kit Looks to be done in concert with SVT. I wonder if this is what they had in mind all along and got shot at by the accountants. Judging by the cost of other kits it will cost about 4k. If one could get some kind of warrenty understanding with your dealer, 80-100 rwhp might be really worth it. Note that it is the 200ax compressor and includes a flash tuner with Fords blessing. That might make it worth the cost all by itself. Does anyone know if the GT had the same Silver Oak processor as the 500? Also I was wondering what the final say on the cams was. Did they come up with a special grind or go with the GT units? Thanks.

It is the case on the Ford GT, and as a result Kenne Bell offers a billet snout kit which allows a smaller pulley on the exsisting blower.
Perhaps that will happen with this car too.
