if it makes you feel any better my x pipe hits the trans crossmember and makes a terrible noise at 200-2400 rpm.
the 2.6 is only 500 more? why dont everyone go 2.6? i thought it was a lot more then the smaller unit. where is this pricing at?
anyway, just because i will lose some boost through my better flowing engine and intercooler it wont be big enough. i want to run about 15psi which should equal a smaller pully then they make for the smaller unit.
what is the cost of the 2.6...i saw it for over 5 grand.
im getting the novi 2000 and intercoolar for about 1000 less.
i wish i had a 2.1KB. anybody wanan trade?
what happens when your crusing in 3rd or 4th gear at say 3000 rpm and floor it? do you see more boost, do the tires break loose?
But why......you've got soooo much more potential still available in that S-Trim. That bottom end has still got some leeway in it to handle the additional power. Time to add a little water methanol or some sort of air/air after cooler into the mix, swap out that sissy 8lb pulley, beef up the fuel system and introduce it to a new tune. You'd be surprised not only about how much additional peek airflow is available, but at the rate said airflow will introduce itself into the system with a pulley swap and a cooler denser air charge. Pulley that thing for 11-12psi and you'll be into boost before you know it and you’ll pull harder than you ever have before all the way up to redline. Feels like a whole different power band. You still wont' have the instant bottom end of a positive displacement blower, but it'll get to the end of the track every bit as quickly as the KB guys and is a hell of a lot cheaper than doing it all over again with a different set up.
Not to mention the 2.6L if memory serves, isn't CARB legal.
last time i was pricing out SC's, i dont think any roots/twin screws were carb legal. most if not all the centri kits stated CARB legal on the package/link.
then again if you live in cali, you make sure all your mods are fully reversible, cause even with carb stickers theyll still give you ****. easier to just take a day or two, revert to stock, smog, realize how much better the mods made it by driving it stock for a day, then stick everything back on.
i am trying to run the highest boost i can on pump gass on the compression im getting in the engine. so i am looking at boost because if im only making 10psi and 450 hp, then i have to switch pullies get a smaller one to make more boost, and make 500rwhp.
the engine should be able to handle about 15psi on pump gas.

It comes down to this...
What Would Jesus Drive?
i'll make a few psi with about 3/4 throttle. maybe 4 max. accelerating at lower throttles usually put me right at 0 boost and vacuum. cruising i'm seeing like 20psi vacuum.
What kind of vacuum do you pull @ 70mph? I'm only pulling 10... trying to figure out if it is normal, or if im about to get screwed.
A Kenne Bell isn't a Centrifugal though, it's a Positive Displacment supercharger.FWIW, I discoverred a little issue with centri's. If I hammer the gas and just tap the clutch between shifts the pressure stay up and away we go.(power shifting) If I let of the gas, even for an instant (granny shifting) between shifts, then (my theory) the bypass opens due to the abrupt vacuum increase, when I make the shift and hammer the gas the belt slips like crazy. What I suspect is happening is the the bypass operates and then the blower has to "catch up" creating the slipping as the blower tries to get up to speed with the engine rpm. It's a KB by the way.
This can also be a problem for Centrifugal style supercdharger as well, (especially between ****s)
This made me chuckle.
