Default Kenne Bell supercharger installed!

I'd like to thank TorqueFreaks in Portland, Oregon for the excellent and professional installation of my Kenne Bell supercharger! They did a superb job and worked through some small difficulties in a manner that speaks highly of their customer service and attention to detail. I would highly recommend their shop to anyone that is looking for performance modifications of any kind.

The 2.6L Kenne Bell supercharger has increased my RWHP to 443+ HP, with 419+ torque. That equates to an amazing 575 HP to the crank. Of course it's raining here in Portland today so I didn't experience the full effect on the road. Looking forward to seeing what it can do.

Thank you TorqueFreaks!!!

Ken E.

Congratulations. I wish I could experience the difference.

One thing though...how does 575 at the crank equate to 443 at the wheels? It would be a lot closer to 500 at the wheels, if not more.

TheDrod - if the 25% loss of HP holds relatively accurate then 575 at the crank would equal approx 431 whp. So that would be in the ball park.

PICS will be coming tonight. I took a couple at the shop just before picking it up this morning.

Wish I could, but I don't have the hardware for that.

Congratulations on the SC.

I'm guessing you don't have stock rubber anymore, correct? If you still do, you should definitely buy some better rubber being you have 4.10's and an SC now.

Well, it came with BFGoodrich GForce tires, which are rated quite high. Not for drag racing, but I don't do that anyway. I am willing to hear anyones recommendations on good street performance tires however.

Man, you must have gone for a ride, the colors all scared out of your face!

Does it stop raining in Portland?

Seriously, enjoy your newfound power!
