Probably more than a wussie 3V can dish out lol... J/K I would say at least 100 more than stock easily.

well they make more then 500 HP with the roush S/C kit correct? roush warranty it for 3 years 36,000 miles (the Drive Train) so that should say something.... i hear there pretty strong but not sure what they can take.... just keep throwing Power at it till it brakes LOL! thats what i do!

I would say start at the trans... start beefing it up and it will get better ET's that way as well...

you are going to want a different trans... the Roush trans is the same as the GT... Im talking about when you buy just the Roush super charger kit they give you a powertrain warrany... a MAMMOTH or a Twin turbo your tranny IS GOING TO EXPLODE!!... I dont understand why everyone wants this hug ****ing KB....its going to brake everything.... its not made for a STOCK ANYTHING... As in suspension, engine, transmission... its point less to make 1000 HP when your going to brake the first time you step on the gas... and if you dont you will be slower then stock from lack of traction! that blower is for someone building a 100,000 dollar car...!
I just want the KB 2.3.....
Heck no way I would think about the Mammoth.

yea i hope i didn't sound like i was being an ass... i just get frustrated when people go and buy the biggest bad ass thing on the market just because... you know what i mean.. it will cool for the hole 5 seconds the engine is running.... the 2.3 is a good all around blower... hell even the 2.6 but man a 3.4L thats just insane!

and i mean the mamoth might wor well on a stock setup... but it would never be able to be used for what it was intended for

u werent i just figured on a built car it would do realy good i mean like from suspension to engine eventualy i think most of us would like a car like that . but everyone likes what they like u know.
They have said that even the KB 2.8's are way to big for the 4 V Cobra engines that have not been built. They just cant hold up to the huge amounts of boost those blowers make.

oh yea... but I just think you can get a lot more usable power from a lot smaller blower, and save a few bucks at the same time
