The only significant mods I remember are the A/C delete and an electric water pump. The KB is definitely 0.3 to 0.5 sec quicker than the Novi. In addition, it's much easier to keep the belt on. The KB is definitely a MUCH superior blower to a centrifugal. Please don't come on here and insinuate I would try to falsify information. My daily driver runs 10.0's. What does your's run?Blown00GTAuto said:Note that once the KB was installed there were additional mods that were not present when the Novi was in place.
And for those who are not familiar with the differences between centrifugal (Novi) and twin screw (KB) superchargers, the psi number comparison is apples to oranges.
The Novi 2000 could have definitely run a 10.0 (or high 9's) on the same car with more optimal mods.

I was running a heavily ported Bullitt intake with the Novi and running 22 psi of boost.hotmustang331 said:Im all for KB, but it must also be noted that boost is a measure of resistance. Were you running the stock PI manifold Jim? The KB replaces this with its own lower so it may have less resistance.
the novi has much more potential on a race gas (27PSI) vs the KB...but for a DD pump gas car KB is the best. This has been discussed plety of times in the past.

Especially from someone who has not actually owned and driven both of them on the street and on the track.Gearbanger 101 said:As for the Twin Screw vs Centrifugal debate…..well, that’s a whole other thread and it’s been debated over many, many times. The choice isn’t as cut and dry as many would like to believe. Opinions are like *******s…everyone has one. So be sure to take comments based on only that for what they’re worth.
That's not what I said. You are the one that cautioned people about listening to other peoples opinions. All I said is that you need to have owned and driven both to have a valid opinion. Remember, as you said, otherwise you're just an *******.Gearbanger 101 said:So by your reasoning, one must have had to have owned and driven both set-ups in order to be qualified to comment on them?I know plenty of people that own fast cars and couldn't tell you how to change the oil in them. I'd hardly consider ownership of the product a standard in which to be considered.
I certainly did. Opinions are just that. But ownership and having driven both doesn't necessarily make someone an expert on the subject either. Not to split hairs here Jim, but it's widely known that the wrench time and technical aspects of both of your set ups have been put together and managed by the boys at MPH. Your knowledge on the project is pretty much limited to what they tell you. I'm not insinuating that you don't have a clue what you're talking about, but because you've owned both set-ups doesn't make you the foremost expert on the subject. You’ve had better luck with your 2.2L than you did with your Novi…..well, others have different result. But to say without a doubt that one is better than another based on your own personal experience is kind of stretching it.jimfitzgerald said:You are the one that cautioned people about listening to other peoples opinions.
