kenne bell Question
#11
good luck finding a used kb to fit your car. I have a kb 2.1 and will do my best to answer any questions you have. I was told as long as you stay at 400 or below rwhp you will be fine on stock internals. Every tuner has a differnent opinion on the max rwhp. I say play it safe. If you run above 7psi you will have to intercool it so you will be looking at an additional 1100.00 just for the cooler setup. If it were my decision I think I would look into a centri setup ie. vortech, paxton, procharger etc. The boost is there a bit quicker than the centri's but from what I have been told you can change that with pulleys but I dont know for sure. maybe someone with a centri setup will chime in for you. But if you have more questions feel free to ask. It is a big purchase so make sure its what you want.
ya your right i shoulld just spend the money for the right thing, although i dont know much about the other superchargers like paxton novi vortech turbo ike superchargers but know a friend that has a vortech and says its great,
basically, i am not trying to get the most powerfull supercharger i would rather get mild output and eventually build the bottom end and get cams, so if i could get a vortech or a charger like that at a better price that will give me all i need wich isnt an insane amount but enuff that would be great then i dont have to go used how are the novi's? anyone know

Fausty.
thats a good idea get the headunit and then just get the parts seperate, bc at the moment i am not making much money but i love my car and if i can just save a lil every week and buy the parts i can afford instead of buying new right away i wont be broke as hell! but i do want sumthing that will give me power in the future when i get my sisters car for driving to work so i can then put sum power in my horse bc i love to go fast, the vortech kind are they hard to put in by urself or with a buddy?

i say try to stay away from used kits. i got shafted last winter in 2008 for 2500 on ebay. not saying all guys are scams but just be careful. used units could have been beat on and the rotors are worn inside etc who knows with used equipment. i say if you kenne bell go new and spend the extra 1k for the intercooler seup you will be better off and your motor will appreciate it as well. the 6 psi will not net you 365+ rwhp, i would say more around 340. if money is an issue look into the 1500 s/c kit sticky on the forums well worth doing that and getting the 365+hp you are looking for.
As for the advice NOT to go with the e-bay intercooler....Am I better off with NO intercooler than an e-bay intercooler? I know three different guys that are running 2V KB's with e-bay intercoolers and making a little over 500 RWHP. So far no problems.

I agree that only 6psi on a stock 2V GT wont hit 365+. Read my post though I was talking AFTER a locked up stall converter(i'm an auto). I also have exhaust and an SCT. Havent decided whether I will use KB's chip or try to get the tuner to use my SCT. Any suggestions on that?
