i thought the 2.1 s/c was for cars that have been fully built and are track cars and the 1.7 was for cars with stock internals or have had alittle internal work.

You know... I dont see alot of guys here on this forum that have the KB's on their GT's. Alot of guys seem to favor either using a centri supercharger or going with nitrous. Good choice tho, KB's are top quality.

yeah , thats true . I wonder why ? I think a screw/roots type s/c is kinda like both . you get the instant boost like nitrous , plus they make alot more tq in lower rpm's than centri s/c's . it's probably easier to hook-up w/ centri s/c though .

One of the biggest issues is the price
