I love my KB but its not cheap. Instant power....I didn't install it myself so I am not sure how difficult they are to install.

I couldnt be happier with my mongoose Vortech SQ trim setup and paxton intercooler. the mongoose kit will come with EVERY SINGLE part needed for installation. all you gotta do is throw it on the dyno to check the a/f.

Can't go wrong with either a Procharger or Vortech kit. The Procharger kits are few hundred more, but they all come intercooled unlike the cheaper vortech kits. Both are very good quality kits and you will be happier with either. If money is not a problem, I would consider a 2.1l Kenne Bell kit.

Centrifugal supers give you boost around 2000 rpms and up. Great for saving gas. Twin Screw supers are instant boost. I'll be passing you at the pump.

You do know that twin screws are not always in boost right? They have a bypass valve just like a centri setup. You can keep them out of boost when cruising, they just start building boost much faster.

as you can see every guy with a twin screw will want you to get that, every body with a centri will suggest that. Just go with what you can afford. All will max out your stock shortblock.
