streetstang03 said:Depends on if you want a track set-up or more of a street set-up. The KB will give u more torque since it is a roots-type blower. the KB is great on the street while the Procharger is awesome on the track. Personally, I tend to like roots style s/c's so i would lean towards the KBPlus, if u go through T&J to get the KB u will have a safe tune and set-up that will give u 400+ hp safely
kirkyg said:UM no. Kenne Bell is a twin screw supercharger NOT a roots. Roots works on difference principles and it also is MUCH less efficient than a twin screw supercharger.
What it boils down to is price. If you are just a track man and dont worry about how your car performs on the street the most sound choice is centrifugal supercharger. If you have a street car that you want to be fast at the track also but have plenty of fun driving torque then you want twin screw.
But you will also pay more to get that lowend power + keep the topend. Well worth it IMO.

Borrowing your words.......ummmmm, no. That little 1.7 is no match in terms of peak power against a centrifugal blower.kirkyg said:but as far as cobras and sohc GT's the twin screw puts out as much or MORE maximum peak power

Your'e 2 1/2 hours from me. Next time I come through to go to T&J I'll take ya for a spin and show you how fast a centrifugal can make 17 psi.GraGhst said:True it's no match up to but the point is who can get to their horsepower faster? While the centrifical blower is working it's way up to 400 around 6rpm, the Kb is already at 400 at 3500rpm and steadily pulling away. That's why people with gears can beat a car with the same HP because they can get to the power band a hell of alot quicker and a KB hits the HP as soon as WOT is applied.
hey swing by and pick me up too damn it !micool said:Your'e 2 1/2 hours from me. Next time I come through to go to T&J I'll take ya for a spin and show you how fast a centrifugal can make 17 psi.

BTW- kirkyg someone recently made 25 PSI of boost w/ a Novi 2K. Yeah a centrifigual. My car makes boost plenty early anyway. Just hit the gas, and you're sideways. Much more than my tires, suspension can handle already. Besides I like the fact I can drive around all day w/o seeing boost unless I want it. At least I get a second of first, and second gear before the boost kicks in, and boils the tires.
how far do you have to mash the gas to get the boost w/ a KB ? You don't think a centrifugal makes boost if you "mash the gas" stop contradicting yourself.kirkyg said:Just because you can have instant boost with a KB doesn't mean you have to. Thats the biggest and lamest misconception about the twin screw supercharger. It will only give you boost if you mash the pedal If not you can accelerate just like normal.
