kenne bell or procharger

Prochargers come w/ Intercoolers...Kenne bell dosent....Procharger used to have leaking issues.....No isses w/ Kenne bells. Procharger is cheaper overall and you get more hardware IE.. Intercooler.

This is the big debate over on the 03 forums. If its strictly going to be a street car, id go KB. If its gonna be a street strip car, id go procharger PSC2. Full strip car id go procharger F-1. Honestly, with your power levels comming close to stock block limits, youll want the intake charge to be as cool as possible, another + for procharger, as centris are much more efficeint then Roots. But roots are very fun on the street. You have to ask yourslef do you like getting thrown back immedaitly in the seat or do you like gradually just sinking in the seat further and further.

The kennebell isnt a roots blower. Its a much more efficient twin screw. Out of those two choices i would go with the kennbell. I have read too many horror stories over at the corral, mainly seems to be the street blowers that have issues (prochargers).

You need to remember with the kennebell you have FULL boost by 2k rpms, which makes for massive amounts of torque. And great area under the curve. If you do a search on kennebell over at the corral in the supercharger section you will get alot of great information. There are a bunch of fast KB cars over there.

Yes, sorry it is a twin-screw. I keep getting mixed up btwn the eaton and KB. The procharger problems with the seal are long gone though. The KB is much more efficent then the roots, but the centrifugals are much more efficent then a KB. Like I said if its a street car then go KB. If its more of a strip car go procharger. Because on the track your power band is limited in the upper RPMS, where the Procharger shines. Just launch above 5000 rpms and stay in the powerband bwtn shifts and youll loose that KB no problem. but on the street, a kb is a diff animal if your into roll races.

I can't believe anyone would use "efficient" and "centrifugal" in the same sentence .

Personally, I'd go with the KB, for a couple of reasons:

1. No belt tension issues, no extra pull on the crank
2. More power under the curve. And arguable you could run more power overall, since you don't need to turn as high an RPM to make power, and it's really RPM that kills motors.
3. Everyone has a centrifugal blower. Be different and get a KB.

The intercooler isn't much of an issue in my opinion, I'd get a water injection setup (couple hundred bucks for a commercial one), water injection is more effective anyway. Downside is you have to fill up the tank once in awhile.

And the KB can make good boost at the top end as well as the bottom end, it's a myth that centrifugal blowers are better at higher RPM. They're not.
