Okay.... never ridden in one of those before. I am going to look into it.
Thanks.

With a Kenne Bell your car will drive the same as it does now except
your torque curve will raise 100-150 ft-lbs across the entire rpm range.
I like them because they deliver a substantial performance gain at all
rpm levels and not just above 4500-5000 rpm like a centrifugal. The
reason for this is that a twin screw blower will make its full rated
boost amount from rpm to redline whereas the boost made by a centrifugal
is dependent on the rpm rate.

If you have any questions about the KB setup on a 5.0L ask away. I know
quite a bit about getting the most from these kits. I have run mine all
the way up to 16 psi of boost.

Hi, thanks for the info. No, no questions at this time... but let me look
and I'm sure I'll be back.

Brad

Are you the Michael Johnson who was/is looking for his father in
Bowling Green, Kentucky??? Charles M. Johnson III???? This man is my
father-in-law. Please email me at .

On the odd chance this is a legitimate post, I'm not the person you are
looking for. My father died many years ago and his name wasn't Charles.
Sorry.

How may people with the name of "Michael Johnson" exist in this world?
More than I few I would guess. The odds of me being THE Michael Johnson
she is looking for is beyond remote. Although, meeting a 22 year old
sweet KY girl may not be a bad thing, if my wife doesn't care.

This was a legitimate post and I do know that there are several million
Michael Johnson's in the world. The Michael Johnson I am looking for
has posted on here, I was just trying to get someone's attention and I
did. Thanks for all who responded.
