It simply amazes me that these companies are still producing NEW products for a vehicle that has been out of production for 2 years.

I pat all these companies on the back. They are taking a large risk spending R&D money to design these parts, when there are such a limited number of these trucks.

Yea.....I do believe he meant it takes 5 minutes to unbolt the intake on the whipple BEFORE the actual plug change. Hey,Tony. Hows your built motor coming?

I would sure love to have one of those 2.6 KB chargers, too! I am sure this will be another awesome charger! Doing all this testing and seeing what works to get the most power out these trucks is very interesting and fun to me as to others on here.

Well didn't autorotor try doing this compressor 5 years ago and never worked out and I guess they discontinued it? Or is KB doing this compressor himself. Also once whipple does the 3.3 how is KB going to compete with that?

KB Dealers..................

John and Sue are stand up individuals!

I ordered my KB on Tuesday, announcement to follow on "bigger and better" -John took it back no questions asked.

2.6 on the way following testing in May. Can't wait!

I am not knocking the original KB, it is a kick *** blower (for the street or track) and I enjoyed my years with the '03 pushing awesome, "safer" in my opinion power to the tune of 495/562 at the rear on a stock block, no problems.

As always a pleasure doing business with you John and Sue!

That is Johnny Lightning Performance for the few that do not know.

The 2.6 KB will be a direct fit! thats going to be 1 of the big differences between the 2.6 & 3.3. I know how HUGE this 2.6 is, i just can't even image how that 3.3 is going to fit without some serious modifying..I'm sure this 2.6 will produce more than enough power for even the die hard racer! and price i'm sure will be a playing factor also!

The 3.3 super charger from Whipple is available.......just not the intake to match it up to your truck. There are no special or certain people unless there is some talented person, with money making a one-off intake. Whipple will ship you the 3.3 blower tomorrow.
