i dont really like the no innercooler idea but am not really looking for much boost, just 6 lbs or so. has anyone used their kit? feedback? also does the blower stick up higher than the stock intake in any place? hood clearance was carefully planed when i built my car and dont have much room to spair at all.

I've seen quite a few cars run the old school kenne bells on the 96-98 cobras. They have hood clearance issues usually in the back towards the firewall. I personally wouldn't run a twin screw without a heat exchanger. I know you can't run one with the B heads, but the twin screwed chargers produce a ton of heat and take forever to cool down.

My buddy had one for a minute on his 97 Cobra. Two problems with the blower, first being it runs too hot. You really need a meth injection kit alongside with it. It's also a very small blower. A Vortech or Procharger kit would be better for this applicatin.

what would iat temps run with about 7 psi on a procharger kit? i never plan on making more than 10 lbs on this car its not a drag car, just want a little extra mid range.

Not sure what IAT temps would be.. but they would be extremely hot. Honestly.. you would probably be better off with a centrifugal supercharger with an intercooler.

It runs very hot heat soaker, I have a 1.7 blower since 2002. Very low HP numbers made 402 rwhp and 427 tq on a forged moter w/ 12 psi of boost w/ a 104 race gas tune by aed. I love the way it looks but not impressed w/ power. Best et was a 11.89 at 115mph I have a very. With a non race gas tune it made 375 HP 389 tq best et was 12.45. U do have to grind the inside of the hood a little nothing noticeable from outside.

I really looked into this... Did a ton of research and then finally to top it off, test drove a cobra with the non intercooled KB on it. It was dyno tuned and ran good but to be honest it was not for me. I would be bored with that blower in a day... if that. No power and can't go over 6 psi unless you are going to use meth cooling and it will still be hot as hell.
