haha, it was me and you have me confused. I'm looking for reasons to get the Kenne Bell, and that was a reason I was looking forward to hearing. I cant even imagine how much fun it would be messing with people with a stealthy yet reliable blower. So what does the blowzilla usually go for $$ ?
One reason is that Vortech and ATI have been around alot longer than Kenne Bell. And number 2 Kenne Bell still can not top the top dawgs when it comes to racing. Another reason is that many find Kenne Bell to be outrageously priced. Generally, people feel that they can get superior performance from a cent blower and a cheaper price. Aesthetics is another reason why one would choose a centr over a KB, lets face it, Kenne bell looks kind of gay under the hood. There are lots of reasons. KB is good, but not perfect, nor intended for everyone.87GT 306 said:So if KB's are so good how come so many others are running vortech and ATI?
KB and your typical centrifugal have about the same efficiency. Meaning that at similar levels the charge temps will be about the same. If I remember correctly both blower types run about 150* charge temps in the 7-8 psi boost range. They both shoot up in temperature drastically after that. You dont have to argue about them. But you cant make any claims until you have installed a charge air temp gauge in your car, and reported us your temps.Ray@VSK said:Kenne Bell & everyone who has reveiwed them said they don't make as much heat as a centrifugal & I'm not gonna argue with them about it.

Daggar said:Hey Ray...
You gonna keep the functionality of that ram air hood with your KB install?
Ray@VSK said:I'm not trying to insinuate anything, only stating Kenne Bell are as "Probably better" than anyother & they do whine much louder than one of them doughnut blowers
PS: Kenne Bell do offer a 28# Blower aswell & from my experience I havn't seen another company offer a Super Charger or Blower @ that with that much boost
The boost on my 2.2L Blowzilla starts kicking in when the vac guage gets to zero.
