Some of you may recall I had a slight mishap that sent a rod into the side of the block (after Trilogy install). After a few tears and many dollars I am nearly back on the road, I am just waiting for the final tune to be done. This is what I decided to go with:
-MMR 5.0 stroked shortblock with 7qt oil pan + high flow oil pump
-the heads were resurfaced and rebuilt/valve job with SS valves and springs
-60lb injectors
-Aeromotive 340 fuel pump
-full Stainless Works exhaust
-Killer Chiller (drag setup)
-2.8" upper pulley with +2lb lower

I'll post up with dyno results when I get them.

In the front bumper area, similar to how they recommend it on the cobra. Some of the lines/hoses are different though.

I mounted mine in the metal bumper support. Pretty easy

Imagine the KC bolted in the center of the bumper support.

No pics. Don't even have it on the car anymore.

KC has a kit for the Marauder if you call them. It is the same as the Cobra kit but with a different mounting bracket and a few different hoses. I have some pics I will post when I get a chance.

I haven't had much time with it yet, but so far I haven't noticed much lower intake temps compared to before (at 83° about 20-25 above ambient while driving).... though this is a different engine with the smaller pulley on the SC. It never got hotter then about 30ish above ambient when in traffic though.
