Does the kennebell have the same type of bypass valve as the whipple? It's normally open when the engine is under vacuum, but closes as soon as the pressure equalizes. Make sure it's working properly. You should see it close when you rev it in neutral.

now that you mentioned the tune....

i noticed in the other thread that you swapped
pullies and changed tunes (at least once)....

just asking here.....do we have the right tune
for the pulley you're running...

yes on the xcal the P1 tune was for 3.5" pulley...P2 was for 2.5" pulley..I tuned for the 3.5" pulley on P1.

Thank you for the idiot check though

I just talked to KB and they said to get someone to ride along while I data log since I don't have my gauges hooked up yet. Anyone in CT?? LOL

Speaking of gauges, i wish they had these when I was shopping. change the zero to and o.

I'm going to order one to replace my fuel pressure gauge. I don't like the sending unit in the fuel crossover line. It just looks tacky.

You don't even have to run a power wire! Genius!

dead link man

James at KB says he thinks its more than likely a drop in fuel pressure...I tend to agree. Fuel pressure needs to be at what...40psi approx.?
