    Im offering a Kenne Bell kit for the Jeeps. Here are some pictures of the first Jeep. Im currently working on Jeep #2. The Jeep made 492 RWHP on 91 pump with 7lbs of boost. Jeep is all stock except for the Kenne Bell. I also made 553 rwhp on a conservative tune on 100 octane and 9lbs . I know the Jeep will hit 580-590 on better gas, but I needed to get someseat time with the tune. I will work on higher numbers with the current build in the shop. I will be offering the kit with a street and race tune.
    run#10 91 pump
    run#2 and #4 are on 100/91 mixed.

    Because Im not on the net as much as I should be, please email any questions to [email protected]. Thanks Adam S.T.Motorsports


    ALL tech support will be handled by ST Motorsports.. NOT Kenne Bell.

    I appreciate the PM sir with the link! I can't stand how the "other" sight is ran by nazi type admin & mods. I belong to a bunch of stangs sites, and not one of them are ran like that.

    Jeep video

    Heres a link of a video of the Jeep going down the street on the 492 tune. I have also ran it on the street at 550rwhpand the trans shifts great. From what I have seen, most of the trannys will hold til 550 or so, then I add a valve body til 670-700. After that the trans needs help. Im sure the Jeep will hold up at 550, but a valve body is definitely coming next week. Thanks Adam

    What size blower is that? It looks smaller than the LX units, but I cant tell if maybe it's b/c the engine bay is bigger....??

    The owner of the Jeep is not on any of the sites..as of now anyways. To answer some questions on the setup.
    -The power steering pump and resevoir were replaced with a different pump and remote p/s resevoir was added with custom brackets.
    -The cowel is modifed to clear the inlet and bypass valve with covers that are attached and resealed.
    -The washer fluid resevoir is relocated,to get the big 2000 cfm filter in the front bumper for a true cold air intake system.
    -The rear inletof the the supecharger is also re worked, to clear the cowel.
    -The battery was relocated to the right side to make way for the massive 4.5 inlet system.
    -The system does use 1 belt like the other LX/LC kits.
    -The customer has been beating on this thing for a week now, and all is holding up fine.
    -Install time is approx 15-17 hrs.
    -NO modification to the hood was made,however the strut bar wasnt able to work. We are building a new new strut bar that will be an optional , if you still want to run it. The customer has not noticed any difference without the brace either.
    Alot of time went into making this happen,and there is a couple things Id like to improve.Make no mistake, tho, the kit looks like it belongs on the Jeep. The power it is capable of hasnt even been touched. I know 700+ can be achieved with race gas and boost with a stock engine, but its the axles Im concerned with right now.
    The kits will be available by the end of next week. Ill be taking deposits on them, and building them per order, as I have to buy a kit, and modify it.The build time is approx. 3-4 days, and woud be safe to say ship time is within 10 buisness days. All kits will come with tuning. For the guys running long tubes and cams, I will make changes accordingly,with email adjustments as well. I will only be offering tunes with the 55lb injector at this time,with a max HP of 600-620 rwhp.HP power levels will depend on the fuel being used. I will be offering a 80 lb injector tune in the near future for the guys looking for more power , along with the massive Kenne Bell 150 mm billet throttle body.
    Thanks Adam

    Minimum would be A/F and boost gauge. I would also recommend a fuel pressure gauge if the system is peeking on fuel???

    Sorry the kit will mot be offered with guages standard, but can be added if you wish.I would do the wide a/f gauge as well as a boost gauge. I will be also building an ice box as well as another option for the kit. Thanks Adam

    What about a total price for the kit? And a price w/o the tune because I can get that free where I'm at.

    working on the price..I still have to factor some materials and time used to make the parts. The tune..basically the cost of the tuner. Another thing I want to make clear..ALL tech support will be handled by ST Motorsports.. NOT Kenne Bell. Keep in mind,the tune I offer will only work for stock 6.1 displacement with stock cams at this point. The tune will work great ,and have good driveability , unless you are above say 4k elevation. Then we will need to do some datalogging and email adjustments. Thanks Adam

    Hey Adam,

    You might want to add the above disclaimer to post #1? If you want me to do it, I would be more than happy to.
