Kenne Bell 2.8 kit for C5, 8 rib supercharger
Hello,
I have a kenne bell twin screw top mount supercharger kit for C5 corvettes. This is the larger 2.8L setup, complete with upper and lower manifolds, air-water intercooler, 60lb injectors, rails, 8 rib pulley setup.
Everything you need to install this on the corvette is included except for an 8 rib crank pulley. I still have the 8 rib crank pulley on my engine and honestly am just too lazy to pull it. Better to get an ATI super damper (8 rib) anyway, they work much better from my experience.
This kit is good for ~600rwhp with the superb pd blower torque and whine.
You will need a wider cowl style hood to fit this blower if you are installing on a vette.
Priced accordingly (hood and damper needed).
$3000+150 shipping=$3150.
I do have a kenne bell hood still installed but it would take $1200, a factory hood, and pickup for me to part with it since these are a rarity and I am still fond of it.

I bought it used with 15k miles on the unit.
I am located in Denver Colorado.
The hood is painted black but honestly needs a sand/paint job regardless, the clear coat isnt in great shape.
I will look for the part number, but given LS1/LS6/LS2 are all cathedral port heads I would think it will work fine as long as you are using C5 accessories.

Forgot to mention I have the installation manual via pdf too.
And all of the other innovators west 8 rib pulleys and bracket are included, just not the crank.
Also includes reservoir, intercooler hoses, pump, bypass valve, 60lb injectors, rails, crossover tube, all pictured.

If I may ask, why did you remove the KB? The reason why I ask is I'm shopping for a supercharger right now. I'm about a month a away from buying the KB kit and I'm looking for feedback. I have a 2003 zo6. Any info would be appreciated.

here's a +1 for the Kenne Bell hood. i love mine because it essentially takes the stock body lines & just elevates them in the middle. it actually looks like it was designed specifically for the car.
if it's gone, a TVS unit is another fantastic option.

I have reached out to the OP to see if I can get an update on the availability of the supercharger. Will update if I hear back from him.
