Thought i'd pot this up for anyone interested in their 5.0L's, to show whats achievable with a low boost Kenne Bell PD blower setup.
Most of you will know the utes history, but on Wednesday i pedalled it to its new PB of 12.26@113mph. Heres the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mnabnro4gg4 Any questions fire away. Cheers, Jeff

That is bloody sweet! Some pretty quick shifting too. Mind you I'm used to the horribly slow gear changes on the T5.
How does the charger sit in the engine bay, is it like the Blowzilla? Any pictures? We all love pictures!

Cheers mate.
The T5 is actually a nicer shifting box than the TKO, especially with a nice short throw shifter on the T5. Alot of people complain about the TKO shifting, but i find it nowhere near as bad as people say and im still using the original Tremec shifter on it. But yeah, its never as smooth as a T5. Heres an engine bay pic.

Heres an engine bay pic. Yep that's definitely fap worthy. Awesome job! I love the panel for the ignition box/coil you have. Was it hard changing the throttle cables to suit the opposite side TB? It's funny you say the T5's shift nicer. I was looking at a TKO so I could get better shifts and also prepare for future engine ponies. But maybe it's just my cheap eBay billet short shifter and possibly the incorrect trans fluid that makes my shifts take longer. No way could I get my T5 to shift as quick as you are in the video, it just won't let me....well without breaking something anyway.

I have no idea how Jeff changes those gears so quickly. It is as bad as they say! Haha. I had the pleasure of driving this thing for a couple of days and the shifts are quite notchy and require a fair bit more effort than a T5 to get into gear. All that work in the gym has paid off for you to be able to smash those gears! Haha.
