I would buy anywhere else but KB. At least with JMS and MPH you'll get some customer service to go along with it. You'll get next to none when you buy direct from Kenne Bell. The price is the same regardless. Not to mention I'd trust an MPH or JMS dyno tune over Kenne Bells blanket chip tune any day of the week.

you'll get customer service untill something goes wrong with the supercharger. then they will most likely tell you to call kb. thats what most places do that sell vortech, paxton, or pro charger. then your back to kbs crapy customer service.

425hp....at the flywheel maybe? If you're talking rear wheels (which I assume you are considering the stats quoted in the rest of your statement) I wouldn't worry about it being anywhere close to that. Although they make a nice kit and really streetable power, never buy into the inflated claims of Kenne Bell's advertised power levels. I've almost never seen anyone crack 400rwhp with the 9psi pulley on pump gas with either the 1.7 or 2.1L kit. 375-390rwhp with his car is probably closer to the mark and that’s taking into account his modest exhaust work.....and auto’s generally, make even less than that!

With only weld in mufflers and my 2.1L at 9psi I put down 366/384 through my auto on the KB tune.

Enjoy it the KBs are a blast!

Isn't that pretty much exactly what I said?

install wasnt too bad. just take your time and its pretty easy. this was my second blower install. the first was a procharger on my brothers 07 which had far less stuff to do than the KB lol.

took about 14hours i would say to get it on mainly cause my dad kept putting stuff on wrong and i was telling him while he was in the process of installing it thats not right and he didnt. lol o well i could only really do small stuff cause i cant really stand up to hold anything heavy.

but just take your time and its pretty easy. we also had the car out at a hobby shop on quantico and put the car on a lift and got to use all there tools and that helped out a good bit.

Sweet dude, how did you manage to score the hobby shop?...wouldn't they just charge you to do it themselves....thanx for this info though...very informative....as well as darkside :SNSign:

my dad is retired army so we get access to quantico and you pay like 4 bucks an hour to use the hobby shop and everything in it. they have it all from engine lifts to 4 wheel alignment machines. its nice.

Just as a suggestion, you may too look at the Scaler in the tune. It looks like "Time Delay to Open Loop ECT"is set at 4 or 5 . Should be at Zero. Also check "Time Delay to Open Loop RPM" in the Scaler. That's probably why it is holding AFR at 14 plus.

im hoping to get this sucker on the dyno next week sometime. I kinda wish i would have gotten the car on the dyno with the 200 shot lol. with my 100 shot it dynoed 358rwhp and 460rwtq lol. i can only imagine what the 200 shot would have been on torque.

I took it as though he may have been posting his results in contradiction to my statement, that's why I reafirmed it afterwards.

well its all finished now. thing is sweet. I am using the KB chip for now until i switch over to the all the sct stuff and get a custom tune then im getting the pro racer stuff too so i can do my own tunes after i get one custom tune.

man that whine is the best. I am in love.
Click to expand...

you should look into snipers comando software. it will cost you less then half of the price of pro-racer since you already have the sf kit. thats the route iam going.

I know KB is pretty clear on their web site about re-tuning. As it states, they "lock their tunes whenever possible" so you can't mess with them. To re-tune you will need to send your ECU back to them for re-calibration, otherwise all bets are off.
Here is a qoute from their site:
"Now, if a tuner decides to start from scratch and modify all that is required to accomplish this -GOODLUCK! Just don’t call us."

^ ya thats why i was thinking about going with pro racer package just because then i could get a good tune from a dyno tuner near me and then when i decide to increase boost levels ill be able to make adjustments myself cause im going to get a wideband.
