noac Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have decided to send my car to Shelby in Las Vegas for a GT/SC conversion. I was sold on doing the Whipple, but in the past few days started leaning toward the Kenne Bell because: 1) It produces less boost 8.5 in stock trim vs 10-11 for Whipple....I feel the Kenne Bell will be a little safer for the engine with less boost thus less power. I am not one to seek huge Dyno numbers from a stock 4.6. 2) I like the fact that the Kenne Bell is about $1k less 3) I like the fact that the Kenne Bell says Shelby on it Looking for people who have a Kenne Bell and if they are happy with it...what they like, don’t like etc..Seems like especially of late the Whipple is the charger of choice...

BlackSGT Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I had my polished KB 2.6L installed by Shelby in 2015 with the factory tune. Dynoed at 490 @ 9psi. I didn't want to push the 4.6. I'm happy with my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Nick Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I had a KB on my GT/SC and it was flawless. Very happy with it! It was polished, looked awesome, sat lower in the engine bay and sounded awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear..I am getting the polished Kenne Bell...about the same power as the Whipple but with 2 pounds less boost. Got to be kind to a stock bottom end. I also like the fact that the Kenne Bell doesn’t look like a factory install like the Whipple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noac Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 I received my 2007 Shelby GT/SC back from Shelby a few weeks ago. I went with the Kenne Bell polished, interior upgrade, cooling package and 3.73 gears. My Shelby also had a Ford Racing aluminum driveshaft and Pypes muffler deletes prior to the GT/SC upgrade. I am very happy with the car and how it performs. Lots of power within the limits of a stock 4.6 3v. The car was put on the Dyno at Shelby and put down 455hp/415tq. I did the math and that equates to 535 at the motor. That is with the stock Kenne Bell tune and 9 pounds of boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noac Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) I believe they always have done it. You have to ask about it and pay for it. Edited August 18, 2020 by noac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it as a “wrapper” car 2 years ago from a Shelby collector with 400 miles on it. I also have a 2020 Mustang GT with a Roush Supercharger that was installed when the car was brand new. I will drive that more than the Shelby. The GT/SC is just a car I have always wanted and am glad I have one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
