Make sure you unbolt and remove the blower from the manifold. Because the inet to the I/C and bottom of the blower have tape on the inside. You can not see it unless you disassemble it.
If you dont do this, you WILL suck up masking tape into your motor.
By LUCK we removed the S/C and saw the tape. If we didnt, we would have NEVER caught it.

Ken,
Thanks for your post. Any chance KB is looking at offering an "MCM-type" heat extraction hood as an option to your hi-rise?
Love the SC, but just don't care for the hood.
Thanks, Gordon

Your welcome. We have explored other hood manufacturers. Currently however the only offering is the RK Sport hood. We have worked very closely with RK to insure a hood with superior quality and they have been very receptive and cooperative so far.
We will be interested in all our customer's feedback about the hood quality. It is an important component of our kit. We will settle for nothing less than perfect, just like the rest of the parts in our kits!

I'll be seeing you guys this thursday.As you mentioned earlier, your right, I didnt have the manual ( Actually its a novel
) so I wasnt sure if that was something that had been mentioned in there. We were just shocked when we noticed it, so I didnt want him to chance it.The attention to detail and commitment to a 100% perfect kit that Kenne Bell puts into their system is second to none.
Like when you, Jim, and I were on conference call that one day and I brought up concerns with the hood. Jims response was "If I think for 1 second that the hood isnt 100% right, I will immediatly scrap the entire mold." That just goes to show your guys commitment.
See you in a few days..

Glad to have you here!
Any chance you can put some more pics which show all details of the installed system?
Would it be possible to download the manual or make some of the images in the manual available for download?
I am eagerly awaiting dyno results and impressions on LS1 cars which are daily drivers.
