The countdown to the loudest blower:
5 Stock eaton, open filter
4 Ported Eaton
3 Magnum Powers
2 Sals (or similar) Centrifugal
and the top of the list goes to..............

#1 The all too familiar KB on its way to locking up! hahahahahhahaaaaa!
The FIRST time I heard a KB getting ready to take a dump, I heard this L pull into the pits, screaming, I thought it did have a procharger or something. Later I learned the KB was just self destructing. I have since heard other KB's sound this way also!

When I was running my truck on the dyno for the first time with just a port, T/B and PSP Fast Air kit, the guys at th shop told me that my blower had the loudest whine they heard, for a lightning. Granted they might have only had five other than me run on the dyno, but I believe one was a KB. It is pretty interesting to see people on the othe side of a supposed "sound proof" room, with a window, drop their jaws when the truck went wide open. I can't imagine how loud it would be with any other pulley combo. I will be sure to find out soon enough.
edit. It might have only seemed louder because of my unusually quiet factory exhaust.
