Oh yeah, and whoever said a KB will only get you to 300HP is a retard. I was hitting 370rwhp at 6psi w/ my KB lol
So you are saying you got 370 rwhp at 6psi and only 47 more hp (according to signature) at 9psi??
Where is that flag, oh here it is-[sm=bs.gif]

I make 421 @ 10 psi with my 02' Auto GT....i love the instant boost the KB gives, i know the centris build boost quick also, but the KB just has a certain feel to it.....plus the sexy whine

Its all a matter of taste and budget. I am not going to say one is better than the other but if you are putting it on to have fun on the street and love that instant boost K/B is the one. If you like to head to the strip and don't want to have traction issues than the centri may be your prime consideration.

Everyones cars respond different to FI.
I'm putting down 411 rwhp @ 8psi with my Novi 2000.
Some people I know with basically the same setup are putting down barely 360.

hrmms I have a quick q for all those kb'ers, are the 6 psi numbers from a 2.1l or a 1.7? does the 2.1 come with 6 psi pulleys?

I have a 2.1, and at 9psi, I'm hitting 427 as of my last dyno run. I remember Stanggang saying he has a 1.7 that he got a heck of a deal on.

You can get a 2.1 with a 6# pulley if you want. You can run a 6-14lbs, and can pick what you want when you buy it.
