dvups1 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Did you just by the blower or did you get the kit? Are you going to do a custom tune or just bolt it on and let the KR tune take it from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Beyond Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Ford Racing already discontinued these, but you can still find some distributors that have some of these in stock for a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twicebitten Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 i need to make my self clear after reading the post .i have 2 shelbys i already have a tvs on my kr i bought the kit for my other shelby . i was just stating that if you own a kr and was thinking about a tvs kit this would be the time to purchsae one.i realize that the kit comes with cold air and tuner . i do not think you can find a new tvs by itself. unless it is used .

YZD263 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I also recently picked one up which I should have installed soon. For some reason, I couldn't see myself with the new blower with the 5.8 stamped on it. The original FRPP TVS looks likes it belongs under the hood of a KR while the 2013 TVS looks out of place IMHO.

shelbypt Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 The TVS was the best mod I did on my KR. I love it, but the Z06 guys don't like it. Hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Where's the best place to pick up one these? I would love to put a polished version on my red KR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvups1 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 So, who here just bolted on their TVS and let the KR tune do the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I have the TVS on one of my KRs and was told by more than one reputable Tuner that the KR tune was sufficient, but if you get to swapping pulleys, etc.., it would be a good idea to get a tune. I went with the L&M high flow elbow and 66mm L&M TB and got a tune. I am very happy with the end results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 do not think i have ever seen a polished version tvs? FRPP offered a polished version when the TVS first came out. I've been quoted anywhere from $300-$600 to get one polished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Twicebitten, thanks for the heads up on the discontinued FRPP TVS. I was on the fence about getting one for my other car, but after reading your post I bit the bullet. $1995 from Capital Ford in N.C. They said that they had purchased what was left from Ford Racing and that I got the last one. They were great to work with and if I ever need anything else from FRPP I'll definitely give them a call.

08krrick Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 IS THIS TRULY A BOLT ON SWAP WITH NO POSSIBILITY OF MIS-ALIGNED PULLIES, THROWN BELTS THROUGH A $12,000 HOOD??!!! ETC. THROTTLE BODIY MATES UP OK? MY SERVICE MGR. SAYS THAT THEY HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBS WITH SUPERCHARGER INSTALLS, BUT HAS NEVER DONE A SWAP ON A GT500.

08KR525 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 08krrick, if I can do it I believe just about anyone could. There are a couple of members on TS who have extensive threads with pics on this install. I took my time and had the stock components off and the new on in less than three hours and I was very cautious (slow). Just be sure to have someone handy to help you lift the old one off and put the new one in place. They're kinda heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, great deal. Is that the supercharger only or the whole kit including the CAI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Captain, that was for the supercharger only. It does have a pulley already installed, but it is the same size as stock. 3" I think. I didn't want the whole kit, since the KR already has the CAI. I'm gonna send this one out to get polished along with a polished L&M high flow elbow and polished TB. It should look sweet on my red car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08krrick Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 i'm finding several different part numbers for this upgrade kit. which one is a direct bolt on? m-6066-sgt or m-6066-svta, or m-6066-tvs? what's the difference? kr525 which one did you install?

08krrick Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 thanx for the explanation. will the 72 and 75 mill pulley both work withour belt or pulley changes? what size pulley comes with the sgt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 thanx for the explanation. will the 72 and 75 mill pulley both work withour belt or pulley changes? what size pulley comes with the sgt? The sgt has the bigger pulley. I don't think that the change in pulley size would require changing the belt. On my '07 GT500, I had a 2.6' pulley and kept the same belt, with a idler pulley. A 72mm pulley is larger than 2.6' (roughly 2,83') so I don't think a idler would be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08KR525 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I don't think belt slippage is an issue unless using a 2.65" or smaller, then I put a 90mm idler on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08krrick Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 OK GUYS, GOT THE TVS. NOW MY QUANDRY IS: SHOULD I RUN IT WITH THE KR TUNE AND SAVE THE PROCAL VOUCHER FOR LATER IF I EVER DECIDE TO CHANGE TO A SMALLER PULLEY. OR SHOULD I GET A PROCAL TUNE BECAUSE THE CAR LIVES AT 4300 FEET. DOES IT MATTER TO THE KR TUNE? ANYONE HAVE AN OPINION? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
