so going with the s/c is the best choice, and the kb s/c is the best for the money?

yes the KB is a better all around blower but also pricey when compared to a vortech or paxton or a procharger which these are centrifugal where the KB is a twin screw

Kenne Bell 2.1 intercooled kit @ 9 psi with Tim's tune is the chit.
BUT its also very expensive ($6450)

So i say go with their Votech kit ($3795).

From what i hear, you won't be sorry

The NPI cars even with blowers don't really put down impressive numbers.

The car you plan on buying is a 15 second car and it's going to be difficult to shave off 2 seconds to be able to fully "own" your friends stock cars.

PI cams to allow the heads to flow a little better, and a 9# IC KB. You'll put down numbers similar to a 99+ 4.6 with the same S/C setup (the NPI intake and cams are the real bottlenecks, and the PI cams and KB take care of both).
