kenne bell vs. turbo vs. Novi 1000/2000

These are the three options ive been looking at. It dont think i want to get the novi 1000/2000 becuase of the whole not making full boost until 5000 rpm w/ the centrifugals but i guess that can be good for et's on street tires. I like the turbo because it makes full boost at 3000rpm if set up right it would just be a lot of work because i would be doing it myself. Then there's the Kenne bell twin screw. This looks good but im really worried about traction and blowing up my tranny with all that torque. And the supposed lack of top end??? WHAT SHOULD I DO??!?!?!?!

Lack of top end???? BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!.....not



The only drop you will notice is when you hit max RPM and the fuel cutoff (not good to do at all... things start coming apart when that heppens as a result of the leanout). You don't have near enough motor to top out even the 1.5L. As far as the torque goes, well... be careful what you wish for. The power is definitely there and you'll probably need at least a Superduty T-5 to handle it. You make boost just off idle and full boost at around 2100 RPM WOT. It's enough to completely break the wheels loose in 2nd or 3rd if you roll the gas pedal all the way down to the floor at 2500 RPM or better. The nice thing about it is that it's very consistant and very predictable. It's not like activating nitrous. I installed the Blowzilla kit. I've very happy with it. If it weren't for my boost guage and the OBVIOUS 'push ya back in your seat' power gain, I'd probably forget that it even there.

As far as the other options go. Never ran em so I couldn't tell you how they act. For the street... I went with Kenne Bell because that's what it's primarily designed for. Advertized max boost is 18lbs... They run upwards of 24 with no fall-off. I'm currently running 9lbs. on pump gas.

yeah i never really get past 4,000 rpms anyways it just makes me cringe. Im also not too worried about top end because of the B cam since this thing kinda lacks a little down low i figure the kenne bell would be just what it needs.

I do but the fuel cut-off scares the crap out of me so I'm very mindful of where my tach is when I'm hard on into it. My solution is going to be to install an MSD 6AL and set the timing retard below the 6200 rpm cutoff. Problem solved.

KB's good stuff. Get the twin screw. You won't be disapointed.

should i go and get 30lb injectors and a matching maf while im at it because im gonna need one with whatever forced induction i do right? (unless i use an fmu
) im still considering a turbo since it will be cheaper. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah i cant decide. then theres the S- trim i have comeing to me which i think im gonna sell to fund the kb or turbo.

go with whatever you can afford. i doubt that you will be dissapointed with any selection.

PM me if your interested in a pro-m 75mm for 30s.

all the choices sound good, all depends how deep your pockets are and how your motor/driveline is set up.....i had a procharger P1SC and with my set up and 10 pounds i made 422 rwhp.....

i am now going with a novi 1000 and 100 shot of N02.....nitrous will be used to lower intake charge on the track wich with enough fuel will allow me to run lower boost with more HP increase. kinda hard to explain....

example....7 pounds with novi 1000 with a 100 shot will be the same as running 12 pounds...but alot less stress on the motor.....i know im gonna get flamed for this but ive seen it done
