I like twin screws cause they are clean looking, like the factory meant for it to be there. I'm not sure but from how it looks all the centri'srequire removal of the supercharger and brackets just to replace the serpentine belt. Correct me if i'm wrong, but thats one of the reasons i chose a whipple.

You're wrong. It's just as simple as removing tension from the belt and routing the new one in.

I would go with the KB but is a PITA to install compared to the procharger. I like the cold air intake on the KB which pulls air from the fender. Because ofthe cooler airyou can get away without an intercooler and save a few bucks. The 2.6KB without the intercooler puts you at roughly 400 RWHP which ideal for a stock motor. Since my install I drive around all day in west Texas weather with the A/C blasting and have never had a problem.

i too have been trying to decide on a supercharger. I would love the instant boost, but i really like that procharger now has it's own drive belt system, and from past procharger experiance that's a good thing!
