Hopefully that clarifys it.
It's all good!

Yeah, if I feel brave enough to post about my KB (), I try to give my personal opinion of the product, based on my experience. I try to avoid being a cheerleader for just one type, because I believe any properly installed & tuned supercharger will be a total blast to drive!

Having said that, I'm sure my great experience is because I had some excellent help/advice/service from all involved.

For the record:

Jeff @ TPE answered MANY questions and sold me my kit... and some additional stuff (I need to stop looking at his web site)

Mike @ CMS installed the kit and Ryne gave me an exceptional tune.

Adrian (Torch FRC) has a body shop, and painted and installed the hood.


That's why my advice is always to get involved with a corvette experienced shop, whichever supercharger you pick. Listen to their advice and then let them do what they do best.....!!

Any supercharger....... just do it.....

Hattitude,

That is some great advise and I would just like to add that while all super charging systems have their pros and cons what sets them appart is the people that sell them and the customer attention after the sale that counts. In this ecconomy that means alot; to all on this thread go enjoy your ride you know the Z that we all love.
