I just bought a 01 with a kenne bell twin screw currently on 6 psi....kinda wanting to go turbo route since im very familiar with turbos.
Car is NOT intercooled...i do have all the books and different pulleys to run more boost.

FWIW kenne bell has a HORRIBLE reputation for customer support unless you were the original buyer. They dont even have vendors, you have to buy direct.
My buddy has a toyota pickup w/ a ford 5.0 with a early KB kit and it is literally just a hot air pump. We put MS on it and the IAT sensor was almost always maxed out. We ended up cutting the manifold in half and custom fabbing a Water to air intercooler on it. Brought the temps right down to where they should be.
I wouldnt keep the KB, but I also have no idea what it might be worth. They are pretty rare. Ebay??

Do you have a tool to change the pulleys?
I have a KB setup, with water to air intercooler. (not running yet, still have to put motor management). But i have a 12PSI pulley installed, and want to put a 9PSI pulley.
Or would the 12PSI be possible on a stock engine ,transmission and diff, with just a different clutch?
According to kennebell that should give about 235 rwhp...
I think they put the pulley with lock tide, cause it will not come loose... :(
