That's currently my set up. I don't have the 112........YET. It's getting harder and harder to look at that thing at REM without breaking down!
If/ when I get it I plan on 16#'s and keeping the 50 shot just to kill the South Florida humidity.

Ps. Pete here is the welded upper I was telling you about......

Hello fellas, Im new but have to ask, If dis blower is better and will walk over the other, why do you need the 50 shot ? It seems a few fellas in here are making excellent power without the nawzz.

owheelies

Where did you get that cool powerpipe ? Did you have it painted or do they sell em with dat flamejob ? I need a red for my truk.

On the nitrous..... I don't have a built bottom yet and even if I did 16#s daily would be enough for me. I would always have the 50 shot on hand if needed and I already have it installed. Also I'm not sure if you have been to south Florida in the summer but it is very hot and humid. A small shot of nitrous can help take that out of the equation.

On the tube.... That is not my truck, it is JL's I believe. Just was showing Pete the upper intake that has the welded raised lid.

Dude you really need to chill out, it's nothing to get worked up over. Don't like it, don't read. This thread wouldn't have even gone into the whole *blowers war* had you just ignored a few comments

The KB is where it's at whether you are street racing or racing at the track. It's crazy to say a 112 can come anywhere near a KB. My Eaton ran out of breath by 4k rpm's, the KB pulls like crazy at any speed at any rpm. You are talking the difference between a possible high 11 second truck and a high/mid 10 second truck. It's like comparing a N/A vehicle to a supercharged one. Obviously you've never ridden or raced against a KB truck.

here we go again, this has to prove my point already, some people think that because they have a KB its the best and it cant get beaten.
