KB produce less heat than Eatons, maybe thats what they're talking about. Back when the 1.5L KB was popular the centrificals were putting out a lot better HP numbers, but now all the 5.0 kits are 2.2L blowers which make a good deal more hp. Sure the peak centrifical HP might be higher but the KB torque will be maxed out at low RPM and will hold that torque through the revs. More peak HP does not always equal more speed, thats why a lot of 600whp Supras run low 12s.
