Some Kenne Bell blower questions

[millatime]

The kenne belle tune is best for a stock car, as it was designed for a stock GT. I emailed them not too long ago and asked them the same question about modded cars, and they said to make the most and the safest power, you will need a dyno tune from a shop who has experience with their blower. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the results you would see.

If you are looking to install it yourself, you will need to buy direct from KB. From what I hear, they have about the best set of instructions available compared to other blowers.

What do you think the KB 6psi kit with my Comp Cams 270s, full exhaust, etc. would make power-wise? Supposidly, the 270s are actually well-suited as blower cams, but I'm wondering if it will keep the car under the magic 400hp mark until I can afford a forged short-block.

Is the KB tune safe enough to get me 2 hours from my house to get properly tuned?

Also, who sells them? I contaced T&J and Tim said he can't sell a kit unless they install it. Evidently KB has some wierd rules for their distributors.

BTW, this is something I can't do until spring-time. I'm just weighing all my options for now. I was thinking about porting the heads, but there is just something about getting blown that I've always liked

I kind of figured that part. Seems like most of the guys that have them have a fairly stock car with just the blower. What I need to know is if the tune could get me 2 hours away from home without grenading the motor as I have no way of towing my car to Dayton.

The KB is a great blower, but a bit on the pricey side. I do miss my KB blown GT every now and then. I wish I would have had the money to keep it. The instructions are second to none. The best I have ever seen. The tune is great too. Ken @ KB is a great tuner and WILL go to great lengths to make sure you are happy and that your car is running correctly.

Whoops....I meant Cincinnati. The Triumph dealer I go to is in Dayton

Anyhow, Apten from St. Louis moved and merged with Modular Depot and they are in the Cincinnati area. Apten had one hell of a reputation for tuning and KenB has a good reputation for service.

I think if you tell them ahead of time they will be able to do something to tune for your cams, but I know their stock tune won't work out too well with your cams.
