They have been out for some time now, And I can only recall one person post up some dyno#s. Where is the Track Times??

I would hardly call any product Kenne Bell produces "Junk". Their new designed blowers are excellent. Im sure if you want to throw one on a 346ci then you would want to go with one of their rather larger displacements such as the 2.8L. I had a 2.2L on my '03 Cobra (I know its a little different but...) and it was a beast. 18 lbs of boost and I made 650 to the wheels! The way the boost kicks in very similar to nitrous from what im told. I really miss my Cobra... but im hoping my Vette is eventually as fast or faster.

I will say that Corvette owners are a totally different breed from Mustang drivers. Mustang drivers love Spec clutches and positive displacement blowers or any supercharger for that matter because they have to make up for the lack of displacement Ford seems to wanna cheat their customers with.

LSX owners seem to love to go with all motor and it seems to work because the power can be made without power adders. When was the last time you heard of a NA 281ci making 500+ on all motor? Very rare is possible at all. This the reason I made the switch but stayed away from the cocky-*** Fbody drivers that seem to think they are the ****!

Thanks man, Im debaiten on going with a f-1C or a 2.6 KB with some spray Both with new heads and headers..

Look into ECS Paxton system too and check out the results in the F/I forum.

Not anff CFM's.. Im wanting to be able to make 800-1000rwhp

torchvette10

however 1000 RWHP might not be doable with a paxton!

I think the vette owners that bought the KB where after the look more than the result. They do look cool as he//.

I am sure you are right! they've been out for quite some time now and we still don't have numbers they are looking for a fast street car that's all IMO

OneBadCEZo6

Thats what Im looking for.. But, around here its low low 6's in the 1/8th for a fast street car! This 500rwhp is a start

I looked at the KB before I built the 403 N/A. The hood really turned me off.

Good luck hitting low 6s with a street vette.

I got a buddy that has 2000 Vert and he ran best 6.06@114 in a 1/8th and can drive it anywhere


347 D1SC Procharger and a Auto with 4.10 gears

Do you know what converter he runs, as well as his 60ft. times?

DOUG @ ECS

The ECS/Paxton kit has powered the fastest supercharged C5 period, so dont always believe everything you read. I have also hit upper 5's in the eighth with a full weight street car. My vert just went upper 117's in the 1/8th with a 346/ Paxton. Plus it did not have crazy 4.10 gears in an auto, just a driveable 3.42.
I have never seen results like that from a Procharger in a Vette, but the closest one that did was with our ECS/Procharger C5 kit and a 427.

FunCool

E.C.S those superchagers rock, anybody who can beat a novi vette must have one fast ride!

OneBadCEZo6

Believe.. I know the car runs it! Thats on blower/motor, And there's nos to add to the times with that. EVEN LOWER E/T's

I strongly considered a 2.8L KB. My problems were: 1) the phone is busy 100% of the time 2) if you have a problem(others have said) you must e-mail & wait for a reply. based on the telephone problem, that method does not inspire confidence 3) "no dealer" policy makes me uneasy 4) question...since they must be busy, why don't they hire more help? someone close to them said they had hired more, to which I would respond" you didn't hire enough yet".....the same member said to PM him anytime with questions, that too was a waste of time 5) I think they have a good product. We raced Top Alcahol at one time. The day P.S.I. & Whipple became legal every non-hi-helix car was an also ran. Too bad it is so hard to connect (and get tech support later) because the low RPM response of this type blower is unmatched by anything except huge displacement which a 'Vette does not have My 2 cents only

Kappa

He's speaking the truth. I think that car has also run high 9's. His name is racerrob333 or something similar. MTI Racing does the work on his car.

EDIT: It ran a 9.75 according a post in the FI section and is running a 3.73 gear.

OneBadCEZo6

He said he's going to beat that record

OneBadCEZo6

Thanks man, I have talked to KB a few times and they have been sorta ***-holies to me. I mean they think everyone in the world knows about these blowers and that guy that I talked to didnt know his butt from a hole in the ground. NOT that I know everything
