Well finally bit the bullett and ordered a Kenne Bell 2.6 . The waiting is killing me but when it gets delivered will install it myself and will feel a whole new car ( i hope). Already planning other mods to compliment it. Already addicted may have to get a second job to pay for all this.....joining the forced induction boys and wanted to say HELLO

Congrats and welcome to the dark side.

What are your expectations from the addition of the KB?

You purchased it at the right time. Looks like the long wait for the inlet might be over soon if you're looking for big #'s.
Be sure and post up pics of your progress.

If you need any help with the install or general questions about that blower there are a few of us that have been pretty far down that road. Just ask!

It finally arrived!!!!! Started the build yesterday and I must say it was a big pain. I had to pin the crank which is something I never want to do again. As soon as I can figure out how to put up pics I will.

I take it you've never installed a cam? It would have been a nice time to install a little blower cam, BTW. Of course, once you have boost, adding power is a simpler matter than NA.
