Lol I relayed no I/C , Honestly that is all the power I would want and need for a while , If I have the need for more hp I can barrow my gramps Chevelle which slams my nuts at WOT. Im not into drag racing/roll racing/straight line racing anymore so mid 300 hp range would be plenty for my to hit the track at waterford hills. mrtstang ' do you think that it would be safe to run that blower with blower cams and a good tune ?

I'm sure it would fine, but i have to agree with everyone here. Personally i'd never run a roots or twin screw blower without a intercooler. While you may pull decent numbers on a dyno, you won't get near those numbers on a hot summer day. Obviously, that will take some of the fun out of it.

Well this is why i suggested a meth kit so when he is in the gas his intake temps go way down that way his car isnt such a slug when in boost. But yea, youre probably gonna have some driveability issues with out an intercooler due to the extra heat.

Thats an incredible deal, take it from me I have been scouring for used KBs to buy and i'm in the middle of paying one off. Only thing about it is that its local pick-up only. Still an incredibly cheap price. However I do not believe it ONLY has 1000 or less miles. But considering how much money you save on the price it may be worth it to drive a long way to pick it up.
One thing I noticed graystang.....you said you were worried about throwing down 400RWHP+ because of reliability. But unfortunately running without an I/C at 350 RWHP is more risky than 400RWHP with an I/C, think about that!

I did not think about heat soak that much but good points , that is a great deal I just dont have that much cash right now or I would score that. I mean I guess I could get the I/C set up and run the 6 lbs pulley to be safe. I will be researching my set up thoroughly before I buy it. I do like the ideal of the met kit but the intercooler seems more simple , Another questions for the KB owners " do you have any problems with the belts shredding ??
