No, you said that for the price of an eaton you can get a used 2.1 KB. Yea you MIGHT be able to get a 2.1 KB(blower only) for slightly less than what I paid for my entire swap, but then you have to get the rest of the parts.

No, Im talking about comparison of blower to blower cost, 2.1 KB vs Eaton.



The I/C version of the KB 2.1 9psi kit seems to put down about 450-470whp on stock mach motor at around 14-15* timing, that could be accomplished on an Eaton setup for less $. Of course the KB 2.1 is a better longterm investment than the Eaton but then again if longterm is the focus, a whipple 2.3 is a better investment after a motor build. IMO of course not bashing anyones setup, not saying any setup is better than another, just my perspective.
