Don't mean to start anything here, or take away from your post,
but after all the smack that JDM has talked about JLP, and how
the Magnum was going to be so much better than the KB I just
don't see it. Your numbers were impressive, and I'm not trying
to brag, but JLP dyno tuned my truck and my Kenne Bell made
481 Hp and 564 lbs Tq with stock injectors and pumps on a
street tune for pump gas. That was on the fourth run with no
cool down. The only mods I have are JLP ram air, JLP tuned
Diablo chip, 2.75 upper (stock lower), Metco Idler, and Bassani
catback.

If you aren't flaming then what's your point?

 

I would like to see where we ever claimed the Magnum would be a better blower than the KenneBell. The Magnum is comparable and very close in power at the same boost levels (less than 17psi). The Kenne Bell is great for anyone who wants to run 10s or low 11's and do it with ease. But for people who just want to see mid to high 11's the magnum is the way to go. As far as vendor bashing I myself have never, I cant say the same for others but that goes for any Tuner Camp out there (JDM, JLP, PSP, REM, etc....) The fact is the Magnum will run 10s, the Magnum will make comparable power to the Kenne Bell at low boost (16 and less), and If you want a blower that you can make almost 500 to the tire with and not hurt the motor than the magnum is the way to go. For some the Kenne bell is the only way to go for some its the magnum. I know for a fact that both are bad a$$.

Not taking sides here:

but I recall JDM stating when they first mentioned the MP blower that it was not designed to compete with the KB. However, as all mods evolve, the MP has been proven to run 10's.

For twice the price I can't justify the KB. To do so would mean a full on race truck, cage, built engine, Monster box, hours on the dyno, Too rich for my blood.

JDM did a helluva job allowing the rotor pack from the eaton to slide right in. All I need is the case, which is cheaper yet.

I know PSP is working on a centifigul, and I'm waiting to see how that performs.

I wish everyone would come out with a blower, so I have many options. I'm honestly surprised we have so many being a limited production vehicle (Kenny Bell, Magnum Powers, WOrks, and perhaps a centrifigul blower)

All I have to say is keep the R&D coming.

BTW:
Very NICE NUMBERS and like all other MP graphs I've seen, that curve is extrmely Flat! Gotta Love that


And it looks like the MP blower COMPETES!

 

And it Competes!!

I have to side with Jim on this one!

My truck was one of the MP test mules. We meaning (MP) have never said that the MP would be a apples to apples blower to the KB. We all did say that it would be a more affordable alternative to the KB.

I personaly have seen 24 lb of boost from my MP! That was at 3300 rpm. I have the capability to run 26 lb of boost. One of the test that I personaly did with the blower was put my 16 lb lower pulley on and a 2.5 upper pulley and hit the streets.

I ran for 2 days with that pulley combo in normal street driving and evening street racing. With no issues we had a family emergency that second day so I can say that I even towed a car transport with a older chevy cavalier on it. This was with the same 16 lb lower and 2.5 upper. Of coars I didn't go WOT ether!

If any of you have any questions about the MP blower please feel free to e-mail me through this board.

you need to post the pic of the engine on the crate with the 16# lower on it.

 

The point is that the KB made more power.

The Ghead.

 

So what makes the Magnum Powers blower so effective that allows it to compete with a KB twin-screw blower at 16 psi or less? It definitely looks like the better "bang for the buck" for those who aren't going all out...

 

I thought the point was that it is alot easier on the stock block then a KB is?

Something about KB's curve was to hard on the block is what i read.

 

wow, this thread took a wrong turn somewhere. If I wanted to spend more money I would have got a kenne bell and a built block and run with the big boys, but the truth is I don't have the money to spend on a bell or built block. I still have the stock block and sold my eaton which paid for a big chunk of the magnum and now I have a 460hp truck that I drive everyday and could possible pull off an 11, I am very happy with my results and I'm sure everyone else who has gone or will go this route will be just as happy. I did all the work to the truck myself besides the tuning which makes the numbers even more impressive to me seeing that I'm no mechanic and learned by jumping in and doing. anyone who has any real questions about the magnum or the install let me know and I will try and help.

 

Same here...I will never put a cage in my truck. I will never lift the front wheels of the ground. I have no desire to have the fastest L in the world. I do however have a budget. I do go pick up grocerys in my truck. And I do drive it all around this great Country. The MP looks like the right choice for ME.

 

yeah, so how bout this guys dyno numbers............huh?

Any how, your number look good. The only thing I can say, and this is a matter of opinion, is the a/f is higher than i'd like to see it. Not that it isn't in the so called "safe" area, but i would feel better seeing it 11.5 or less if it be my truck. Just my opinion.

Thos are some nice numbers, specially on the street tune. My dyno number I claim are on my street tune. I have never dynod my race program but it's based off my street tune. I'm at 437 on my street, so that puts me over 450 to the rear wheels on my race. Those are some good numbers for a basically street driven vehicle.

Glad to see your happy. JDM sure is a fun place to spend the day. Can't wait till the fall to visit again.

 

All I know is that I want one. !!!!! great no.s and when fall comes around hopefully I'll be ready for one. This sounds to be what I'm looking for. I drive my truck everyday to work and once a month or so I like to go to the track . Ive been watching the info on these mp blowers and so far Ive liked what Ive seen..

Good luck with you newfound hp!!

wkuper11, how much did you buy the MP for and what did you sell your eaton for? Did you buy the MP with or without the rotor pack? Thanks.
