Kenne Bell has been closed for the Christmas break. They were only there a few hours a day last week.
They also shut their phones off between 12-1PST. Other than that, you can call 909-941-6646.
As for ANY question regarding the kit on these cars, you can ask me pretty much anything, and Ill do my best to answer it the best way possible.
But in this section of the forum, it is HIGHLY bias towards the ECS or A&A kit. So before you make your decision, make sure you speak to guys who are currently running the kit in some fashion. Not ones who messed it up, and pulled it of blaming the supercharger.
We jus finished a 408 stroker with KB 2.6, and it is a monster.
On 10.5psi, we had to abort the run at 4750 rpms, because he dropped to 40psi of fuel pressure. He's running a stock fuel system, and it just couldnt handle it. But at 10.5 psi, he is making 652rwhp, 650.5rwtq (at 4750 rpms). The power was climbing like no tomorrow. When he finishes building his fuel system, we plan on upping the boost, and running it out to redline.

It will most likely for you come down to hood change no hood change, quiet, quietest,will you do it yourself or a shop if the shop are they familiar with either of them. All three are good you can't go wrong with any of them. I personally researched before making my decision which was a ECS installed Novi. I liked the idea they completely designed everything themselves around the Paxton and this thing is reliable,quiet and the service they give is great. Good luck

I have the AA T trim.
But it all depends how much power you want to make. The Novi 2000 does show a bit more CFM from it. But with your engine size I say go with something bigger than the T trim and the Novi 2000 so you can make close to 1000 whp

Are you sure you can't make close to 1000hp with a Novi?And even if you can't their are plenty of guys doing 8's and 9's with less and guys with over a 1000 that can't.
