1- Punctuation is your friend. [:@]

2- There is no "better". Most people will say that the KB is a better blower, but it really depends on your application. The KB will develop boost earlier in the tach, whereas the vortech (or any other centrifugal charger) will take some revs to get boost going.

your going to get the same power out of both of them...about 390 to the wheels give or take a little...kenne bell is going to give you more bottom end. but if its the h/p numbers you are conserned about then both are good...its not the supercharger that wont make enough power its your motor that wont be able to hold as much as they CAN make

honestly i gotta say go with what your budget can handle. they both will fullfil your power needs. i beat a bolt on 03 cobra on the interstate but he gets me off the line. its all in what your looking for and what your wallet can hold. and dont listen to people who dont have blower. not to knock anybody above me but there are quite a few people on this forum that comment on stuff that there friends have or have raced. check out modularpowerhouse.com and look at there mongoose kits, they have paxton, vortech and KB.

get the KB it is the best one out there for the GTs and you will be able to make around the same #s with the both but the KB will have a much better TQ range then the centri s/c

I have driven Paxton, Procharger, Vortech and KB. I say KB all the way. Instant boost = amazing.
