Fact: a sentence ending with this ? is a question.
I don't come on to any boards to prove anything. I come on to share information. If someone wants to know my personal experience with a KB supercharger, they're going to get it. We all know that a vendor is motivated to gain business through sales and installations. I am not a vendor nor do I have a business, so my motivation is truth.
Anybody that posts a question that I am able to and have time to help with will get an answer from me. It will be truthful and based on my personal experience or knowledge. That is just as much of an invitation to me as anyone. Unlike other forums that exist that only allow posters to nutswing, but don't allow someone to post a legitimate complaint, this one will allow for both. It's certainly not fair to delete complaints and keep praises and you know it. Why do you insist on coming in to KB threads to praise product that you have yet to do anything significant with? Because 1 car with an overspun blower (which I believe voids the warranty check with Kenne Bell directly for an accurate answer on this) and large displacement posted 800rwhp? If you make any kind of decent #'s with your car, track or dyno, I'll be happy for you and may refer to your #'s in future threads. As of now, we have one untrusted e-bay source and one other car that has made 800 or more rwhp. When you get your car running, you can post up IAT logs and show us that my personal experience with Z06Wanted's car was an isolated incident, but I ask you this: Why did Jeff post up a "fix" for the IAT issue if it wasn't broken in the first place? Why is Jeff trying to work on an unchoked inlet if it isn't restricted in the existing design? If KB gets all of their bugs worked out, then maybe they'll start making some reasonable power. Until then, why do you think it's fair to come on here repeating what a manufacturer tells you rather than speak from personal experience? If anyone wants a big polished blower under their hood for a good show, I wouldn't discourage the purchase of the KB. If they want to make some big numbers at the track or kill others on the street, I'm going to tell them my experience. Before you begin to mouth off regarding my KB experience, I have helped a couple of people out a great deal and worked on tuning one while in the passenger seat, doing WOT runs with the AFR's in order.
I have yet to see anyone in the Corvette world post up decent #'s (even with Jeff's support ) except Jeff, which he quickly abandoned and sold the blower to you. How about you? Now he's been building some custom large displacement engine for the last 6 months or more and I'm willing to bet that it's not going to have an off the shelf, currently available KB on it. I expect it will have a 3.3l with custom this and that.
I have a T6060 transmission, 08Z06 rear, cradle, Textralia Triple disc, and a YSi. Not many C5's with my trans and rear. Not many cars with the Textralia triple. Not many had LSx cars that I had seen at my time of purchase had the YSi Vortech, so yes I've "taken a few chances in life". If someone wants to make 1500rwhp with their car, I won't be recommending my setup either. By the way, did you notice I didn't only mention my setup? I mentioned the ones that have made the #'s.
