Kenne Bell 2.1 Capable of 500hp+?

[Y2K 281]

Okay so I am curious as to what people have been able to get out of the 2.1 KB kit. I have heard tons of information about how restrictive the inlet is on the 2.1 for the 2V guys. I'd like to know if this blower is even able to get you 500+ with the stock heads and cams. I see a lot of people hitting 425 and such on the stock motor but haven't really seen many people talking about this setup on a built motor. This will be going on a built motor so no worries about things blowing up or anything like that. Also, I plan to run 42lb injectors from a cobra tank and dual pump with the KB BAP.

I know the KB site shows 521 or so on a stock motor but I honestly don't believe much of the dyno sheets they post up on their site.

Thanks for the info guys.

The compressor itself is certainly capable of supporting 500 horsepower. As for the rest of the kit, not so much.

So what exactly do you mean by the rest of the kit? Keep in mind I will be running larger injectors, a bigger intake, as well as a 14psi+ pulley.

So you plan on switching out the internals?

you should have no problem seeing 500+ rwhp with the 2.1kb blower

but your going to need some heads and cams for better airflow

unless your going with more compression on the shortblock i cant see that helping your overall hp numbers the shortblock is more of a safety thing...

9.1 cr stock block/8psi/all other mods in sig.----(371rwhp)
8.7 cr built block/8psi/heads&cams/all other mods in sig.----(446rwhp)


with my heads and cams i added almost 100rwhp to my vortech set-up
at 8psi=446rwhp going to see when 16psi=???(working on that now)
