HUGE, I MEAN HUGE!! Kenne Bell Announcement!!

[burtonbl103]

Sweet !!

[Bushong572]

I would be careful with the A6.............I know of 3 that have let go around 550 rwhp. I also know 2 people that have lost their supercharged LS2s (stock bottom end) within the last week (550-600 rwhp).
Some people can never have too much power, but I'm done.
I hope KB is serious this time, they make a good product (I gave up on them).....good luck

[C2C6Z06]

I've got an 08 Z06 if KB needs one in Upland

[Jeff @ TPE]

Yea, I agree, 550-600 is as about as far as one would COMFORTTABLY want to go on a stock bottom end. At least I would..

I appologize that the KB has taken soo long. But I assure ou, your frustrations have been heard LOUD and clear. And they have no longer been taken lightly.

I agree. I don't care what HPT realeased for the A6, the internals are still the same. With 600hp its just a matter of time...... with drag slicks, probably a very short time.

Thanks!

800 RWHP on a stock LS2 Engine?

For maybe 30 minutes; then you would have an aluminum grenade under the hood detonate!

That kind of rwhp would require a forged bottom end; upgraded drivetrain (clutch, transmission, rear differential, half shafts etc) for any long term reliability.

Even on the stock LS3 engines; most reputable tuners are capping rwhp at 500 to maintain the integrity of the engine and drivetrain with stock cast internals.

Yea but now a company such as RPM can build a stronger tranny with new internals and have the tuning sofward to make the needed upgrades.

[AintQik]

I have a forged 404 MN6 in 2005. If he wants to make ridiculous numbers let me know.

[Jeff @ TPE]

Are you kidding me??

Jim B, is the type of guy that stands in the corner yelling MORE MORE MORE.

Had I let him go the 20+psi and C16 like he was begging to do, I would have a coffee table made out of a motor..

Have you ever heard a twin screw spin to almost 30,000rpm's? I have.....INSTANT WOOD..

One thing I have learned NOT to tell Jim..."Your blower wont do it"

The required hood for the C5 discouraged me from KB. If the C6 MCM hood would work on KB, that would be great. Thanks for the updates

[Jeff @ TPE]

A new update should be coming monday..

Does anyone have the S/C version of the MCM hood? I would love some measurements..

[Jeff @ TPE]

UPDATE:

Got a call of the boss man today.. (Jim Bell)

I got to pick out his BRAND NEW Victory Red 2008 C6 today..

He said F*K it, I told these Corvette Guys i'm serious, It looks like I gotta ditch my truck and join them..

Hopefully I'll have the pics on monday..

BTW, He also has a ZR1 Coming.. He is DETERMINED to have a polished KB 2.8H underneith the clear glass of that bad azz vehicle..


C6 kit HERE WE COME... (PLUS CARB APPROVAL)

There WILL be a GP on the first batch.. C6 Z06's included!!!!!

[gbgary]

That's HUGE, I MEAN HUGE!! Jim Bell Announcement!!

[AintQik]

Well hurry up or I will buy a blasphemous Vortech

[MnMFTW]

Might be a little late, but I live very close to KB too.... (20Min Drive)

I have a 2005 M6 C6 with Intake.... Maybe I could be a test car????

[kyle0k]

Have 06 z51 mn6 (Have bullets exhaust and intake though, so not completely stock), that is close to LA(driving distance that is), so if another test car is needed..... I would want it tuned down to 500rwhp though for reliability reasons.

This is assuming the production costs and runs are in line wth the C5.

DO NOT quote me on pricing. I am mearly comparing this to the C5 version.
