Kenny Bell 2.8
Well guys look what come in today from Jeff @ TPE. I will be putting it on my stock motor with cam only( MTI G1cam) for a while until I finish another project I am working on. The KB will replace my maggie. I have Kooks 1 7/8's headers with Corsa Pace car exhasut. I have a set of ET Performance 255's for a stroker motor this winter. I am looking at a 416 LS3 as of right now. Anyway I will have pics of the build next week. I am still waiting on my 8 rib kit for Jeff who is dragging his feet 
. Well here are the pics.

Thats what you get for hitting on my wife on the telephone..
I'm taking special care of your pulleys.
BTW, I wonder who will put a bigger whoopin on that blower.. Your 2.8 on a 416, Or "Overboosted Z06's" 2.8 on his HKE built 408..
I need to call RPM and tell them to start building some drivetrains, cause there gonna start gettin real busy real quick..

Looks good. You will love the instant power and torque. I only have the small 2.6 but I love it. Even on stock cubes I am making over 700rwhp and I have a parts list for a 403 that I am going to build starting next month. =)

Cause the maggie doesnt hold a candle to the power of the KB...
He would never get what he wanted with the maggie..
Put it this way, on his maggie, he had to run a 2.9" pulley to ge the SAME boost, as a KB with over a 4" pulley..

WOW! That car of yours is going to be an Absolute ANIMAL once you get that blower on a stroker! 
I don't think it's kleenex you'll be needing, it should be toilet paper once you "Git er done" if you know what I mean!
Good Luck!

I am glad that KB puts protective plastic on the blowers. Shane and I pulled the blower out of the box and wow , ahhhh
, ohhh
, I got a little excited. The plastic made for an easy cleanup. J/K
The blower looks awesome.
We now will see if a 346 KB will out run a NA 418. The 346 maggie wouldn't. LOL

AWESOME
I want a TTi X kit....but....this might change my mind!
How loud are the KB's? Louder than the Maggie? I hope so...I love that sound!
Keep us posted....I have 402 I'm building up now....I might can be swayed back into the supercharger world
How do these perform on the top end?
