No, whipples are the best on the market, one of the reasons Ford and Saleen uses their stuff in OEM applications, and not KB.
I know 2 people personally who had the gear drives rip themselves appart, and thats just in tucson. Add in the fact that KB doesn't back their blowers up AT ALL, have the worst Customer Service in the industry, and you can see what I mean

yea whipples are one of the best as well. im getting ready to pick up an 04 cobra, and its getting the whipple over the KB. are KB the best, no. but are they a good option to look at while shopping for blowers..yes but like i said before, im partial to the centris, and its a lot easier to go Twin Screw on the cobras.

Honestly, I think I would go with either the Whipple or the new Vortech Twin screw (also 3.3L in displacement) before I would touch a KB.
The only reason KB is still on the market, IMHO, is because they are one of only a few companies on the market, and because there isn't much competition.
