Did you just by the blower or did you get the kit? Are you going to do a custom tune or just bolt it on and let the KR tune take it from there?

Ford Racing already discontinued these, but you can still find some distributors that have some of these in stock for a great price.

i need to make my self clear after reading the post .i have 2 shelbys i already have a tvs on my kr i bought the kit for my other shelby . i was just stating that if you own a kr and was thinking about a tvs kit this would be the time to purchsae one.i realize that the kit comes with cold air and tuner . i do not think you can find a new tvs by itself. unless it is used .

I also recently picked one up which I should have installed soon. For some reason, I couldn't see myself with the new blower with the 5.8 stamped on it. The original FRPP TVS looks likes it belongs under the hood of a KR while the 2013 TVS looks out of place IMHO.

The TVS was the best mod I did on my KR. I love it, but the Z06 guys don't like it. Hehehe

I have the TVS on one of my KRs and was told by more than one reputable Tuner that the KR tune was sufficient, but if you get to swapping pulleys, etc.., it would be a good idea to get a tune. I went with the L&M high flow elbow and 66mm L&M TB and got a tune. I am very happy with the end results.

Twicebitten, thanks for the heads up on the discontinued FRPP TVS. I was on the fence about getting one for my other car, but after reading your post I bit the bullet. $1995 from Capital Ford in N.C. They said that they had purchased what was left from Ford Racing and that I got the last one. They were great to work with and if I ever need anything else from FRPP I'll definitely give them a call.

08krrick, if I can do it I believe just about anyone could. There are a couple of members on TS who have extensive threads with pics on this install. I took my time and had the stock components off and the new on in less than three hours and I was very cautious (slow). Just be sure to have someone handy to help you lift the old one off and put the new one in place. They're kinda heavy.

Wow, great deal. Is that the supercharger only or the whole kit including the CAI?
