blower choice - kb or vortech?

[SALEEN281]

which is a good blower kb or vortech

 

[AmBo]

I prefer the "Search Button" blower. It's awesome. You should try it.

 

[timeless2]

What are your goals? The choice in s/c is a deep question, so it helps to know a bit more about what you want before good advice can be administered.

 

[xseler8]

Both are good.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

They are both good.

 

[AmBo]

Agreed.
KB = >$
Vortech = <$

+1 for search button

Novi 2000 gets my vote, but they're all good blowers. The KB is a great street/strip blower that will give you instant boost. The Centri's make their power at higher RPM's and are generally not as expensive as KB. its all in what you want out of your blower.

in case it hasnt been said, welcome to the boards

if you really want to eliminate the competition get a superturbonitrous charger , but on a serious note it all on where you want your power to come in? How much are you willing to spend? and alot of other factors

Trust me, get the KB. I've had a Novi 2000 and a 2.2 KB.

 

[DBMSTNG]

i don't know how the KB 1.7L and the S trim stack up in peak power, but i know the 2.2L and 2.4L will beat it. the 1.7L will make better low end torque for sure tho.

 

[hognutz]

I will go with kenne bell for two reasons. low end torque and because it replaces the stock manifold which is under partial recall for cracking issues.

traction being equal a KB car is going to be faster due to where the boost comes in.

the are both nice products though. you just have to make up you mind on what you want.

like posted earilier search. there are so many supercharger threads on this board it is rediculous.
