Probably

Jim; don't you think it would make more sense and be better for the community if when you chose to come online it was to answer peoples technical/product questions rather than get into a pissin contest you aren't going to come out ahead in

I just got off the phone yesterday with a customer that bought one of the used MP's, he is in Texas. He picked up 30 rwhp over his ported eaton. You didn't have any problem selling yours or the other two that you have claimed to have sold because they work. It is tha same as I am not an official Kenne Bell Dealer installer, but yet I can buy the Kenne Bell's from people who are selling them on Ebay or they have bought them and have changed there minds or they stuck them on for a couple weeks and took them back off. In fact if you do a search you will see in the begining of the Kenne Bell's people were selling them because people felt they Eaton out performed them, especially in the torque range. It takes time to tune to a new product to bring it to its full potential, and we have done that. Like I stated before your Kenne Bell truck is still slower then some MP trucks. You came on here attacking a product, you say for its lack of performance gains, which is not true for the reason that there are stock block MP trucks faster then you.


You say it's not the product now, you say it is the company that sell's it. why don't you explain to me in detail what JDM Engineering has done to **** you off to come up here and attack a product that is already performing you. For only three people to sell the MP's out of the hundred that are out there there was a lot more people that sold there KB's out of the first hundred and the same will happen when the Whipple hits the market.

The ten second truck in florida is a member of this board his name is Mike, his name is B4Thunder. The other guy is not on the internet. The California truck is in the San Fernando area, Earl's Automotive has assembled the truck with our motor, all our parts & tuning. The truck dynoed at 642rwhp, I took a look at the tune while I was out there on the dyno.

What this sounds like to me is that you do not like anybody talking back to you, everything was great in your life while you were putting down a product until I started answering you back. I repeat, there was more Kenne Bell's resold out of the first hundred then there was MP's. There are MP trucks faster then you. You took your nose cone apart, you grinded on it, you pulled the pulley off, my opinion is that you overtightened the pulley soo much when you put the pulley back on that you cracked the aluminum pulley. You bought some SCT software and overnight you became a tuning expert. What has Magnum Powers or JDM Engineering done to you except for try to help you out? You have posted on here three times and havent gotten to the point on any of them, all you have been saying is that you sold your MP and so have two others.

Oh, so it's not a 10 sec truck, but you figure it would be because it has 642rwhp using some of your parts. As of yet I think Dale and Dante are the only two 10 sec trucks in California.

Yes he did go a ten. He is a serious street racer. If you would like I am sure he will set-up a race with any Lightning out there. But I must warn you he only races for money.


I don't know if I am missing something here or you guys are. I would like to see this thread go away because it is hurting sales of the MP. Casey02 says he like facts, and in his last three posts the only things he has said is that I pissed him off and I am not going to win here. He has not posted anything that JDM has done to him or why more people sold there KB's then the people who own MP's, or why his truck is slower then other stock block MP's, or why he even feels the need to keep going on and on and on.

LatemodelRacer2 sold 00Bolt his MP and he is the one from Texas that picked up 30hp. So if he doesnt start posting facts as he calls them I will ask the moderater to close this thread.

Same boost and tune as your ported eaton?

I have read on a few threads that the MP will only out perform the ported eaton by a small margin at the same boost level and tune. Is running the MP at high boost pressures is where it will start to make a big difference Vs. the ported eaton.

I guess, I'll add my 2 cents before it gets closed

Comparing a 3K dollar blower to a 1700 dollar blower is out right funny.

I couldn't justify 3 grand for a blower that preforms................ with known problems.
I know 5 KB owners personally, and all have had nose cone problems. Some more than once. BUT KB has made their blowers good. So KB's customer service is good and the blowers where repaired/replaced.
Now the PITA downtime wasn't covered. LOL

So I bought the economy blower and am VERY HAPPY with my decision. Seen it first hand that the Magnum does indeed perform

Besides I'll make the 10's and save $1300 with my decision
