Default **C5 Corvette with custom 3.6L Kenne Bell By Late Model Racecraft**
Just finished baseline tuning on 93 octane and made over 800rwhp at 19lbs of boost. Car made 750rwtq at 3k rpms. We will tune drivability then put some race gas in her to see just how much rwhp this supercharger will make!

that sounds way louder than some of the 03-04 Cobras I've heard with Kenne Bell blowers. What are the other specs on the motor?

I think that's the best KB numbers ever posted on here that can be backed up. Congrats. I'm assuming you didn't just bolt on the kit, but made some changes.

wait a second, people still voluntarily use KB blowers on vettes? I thought they were out of production due to lack of results?

They did, Kenne Bell killed the kit. Wonder why...

I think I speak for myself and anyone else that ever spent boatloads of time trying to make those things peform, best of luck to you, but dont set you sights to high.... Because that heat pump will quickly shatter your dreams.

There is a reason that just about EVER person I know of that purchased a KB with the intentions of making decent power now has YSI on there car.

And really, 19psi to reach 800rwhp?

Ok, im done...

You're right. The three usual suspects of perpetuating KB blow ups are all in this thread.
