I have been hearing alot about people being concerned about the KB supercharger being placed on a *stock* engine and causing problems for the *stock* internals.. However i believe the KB unit will be even safer and easier on the *stock* internals! Let me explain, the KB unit will make equal amount of power as the *stock* unit at a much (lower) boost level! and with much lower discharge temps! This is therefor much easier on the engine than a blower that has to make more *boost* to achieve the same amount of power. Yes this unit can be used with *pump* gas no problems at all! we just have to keep our boost levels within respectable levels(no more than 15#) IMO. we can turn the blower up to make even more power also!(up to 21#) the KB unit will also have amuch colder air discharge!The *NEW* KB unit will have a new rotor design and a Big Mouth opening which is atleast twice as large as the stock opening! This will produce even more power with the New Intake we'll be selling at a later time......JL

Call me first!! I will be the first one to buy it from you. I have been satisfied with all your products and trust your knowledge.

Just so everyone will not be in disbelief, the pic above that JL posted is a drawing that KB gave to him. They ARE developing that blower as we speak. Pretty soon ole JL will be doing some testing for us.

 

Mines on order! Just in time for the cooler fall weather.

 

Hey Johnny,

Was just wanting to know around how much will the blower alone cost. I was thinking around 3.5k?

Any info about pricing would be appriciated

Thank's

 

I like the looks of that unit much better than the typical "square" KB design. Damn, yet another mod to put on the list.

yes it is a drawing. i spoke to jim bell today and the update on the blowers looks like 2nd week of sept. thats about 2 weeks behind schedual .. they are machining the front casing of the unit now. also the new unit will be a 2.3 not the 2.0. they did some testing with the 1st unit yesterday and have some serious results! This new unit is smoking the unit i currently have on my truck now! : ) the price will be $2999.99. this will be a *direct* replacement. the blower will bolt up to both the 99-00 & 2001 2002 intakes. and should take the *average* mechanic about 1-2hrs. to remove the stock unit and replace it with the KB...JLP

 

Running 10psi, how much HP should we expect over a stock blower running 10psi?

Johnny: The 2.3 is that a 140 or what???

 

Sounds like what i was thinking. I am very interested. What does the KB sound like compaired to the Eaton? If u could post somthing that would let us hear it when it is under acceleration.
Would be appriciated Johnny

Thank's

 

The KB on Johnny's truck sounds much like the Eaton, maybe a little different pitch whine. That's gonna be one nasty blower!

 

I'm gettin' a woody!

2.3 is it a 140? Let me tell ya this is going to be 1 bad Blower! Like i said they tested the 1st unit and the results were simply Amazing! With the new style rotors and design, I can't wait till i get this baby on my truck!
As far as the sound it really has a sound of its own It sounds like a high pitched eaton being spun about 10 times more than what it should! if you want to hear the KB unit i have now i'll be at the pro-street car shootout this weekend @ maplegrove pa. come and hear it for yourself.... JL

 

You guys just keep the good stuff coming.
