that is funny as hell. But then again the 75 inj will support 1,k hp the way that vendor would tell someone. No way in hell will a KB put down true 1,k rwhp in these cars.Robert

Nice Andy! How do you like the real world power and drivability?
I really enjoy my KB. it's also fun to hear all the belt driven turbo guys talk $**t. I am excited to hear how it goes with the next pulley!
Try not to listen to all the negativity in this thread. Some people apparently can't let things go. It's funny to see people digging up articles from 2011 just to stir things up.

I was just trying to help the guy on what a problem this set up has been on these vettes. Plus what he may have to look at doing to get it to work better from all the crap I ran into.Just didn't want him to go to a shop and that shop tell him you need this & this & this but really just need to redo something are only get one thing to make it work.
The guy that use to sell these in here did me that way and that is why.
Plus on the other guy that pulled the post from 2011 is one good guy that is willing to help one in here with and kind of problem.
So I really don't know where you are coming from here on your statement about this.

Robert, I wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers with my statement. I was just trying to encurage Andy to keep going and having fun with the KB. I don't know if you remember me but....when I first bought my Vette I was super excited about it. I joined the forum and posted up about my car and it having a KB on it. Shortly after my post a buch of guys started bashing the KB system and really bummed me out. I thought at that point I had made a huge mistake buying the car. But in the end it worked out great for me.
I really do like the KB. I live in a mild climate though. Maybe you guys that live where it is hot it may not be the best setup. I also am totally fine with 550hp. I know a lot of guys want way more. You were actually super nice to me the night everyone started bashing my setup. If you remember you called my and gave me adivce about what to do and not to do with the KB.
I appreciate your input.

I think the biggest bitching about the KB is not the stock kit. It is pushing it further. KB and Mr. Goss both stated that this blower (2.8L) would do 800 rwhp all day. A couple of us tried so much and wasted a lot of money doing it. That is where the heartburn comes in. Also the fact that KB bailed completely out and getting parts was next to impossible.
I wouldn't trust KB as far as I can throw them because that is just ****** customer service for your own product.

I have a magnuson 2300 , and is pushed to 13lbs @ 705 rw.
I tried meth, and I gained to 750 , but my goal was to use it for cooling, did not achieve any cooling, and ended up with a meth dependent tune, so I removed it. I have spent a great deal of cash on this thing, larger heat exchanger with fans, same jabsco pump you are using, larger coolant tank,
have done virtually everything possible other than nitrous !
You can not keep IAT's down on pd blowers, mine climb to 174 degrees in the 1/2 mile. But I am ok with that, as it is mainly a street car, and very fun too drive. If you keep the boost as low as possible, you will run cooler IAT's !!
I was told the same as the OP's are explaining to you, and although I like my setup, if you want max performance, the centri is the way to go .
But you seem to like it , that's great, enjoy, they are lots of fun, people here just trying to help save you money!!

Robert, I removed the bumper foam , and cut some of the rebar out, and the Ford afco dual pass exchanger sits there , behind a tiger shark front end.
I have pics of this in my album of this if you would like to see
