Default Kenne Bell & Total Performance Engineering Announcement!!

Total Performance Engineering
702-355-4809
Jeff@TotalPerformanceEngineering.com

After many many months, we have finally came to a deal with Kenne Bell Superchargers.
As most of you guys know, I have been heavily involved with the progressing development of the Kenne Bell supercharger on the Corvette platform. If I haven’t tweaked it, or tested it, it hasn’t been thought of yet.

Total Performance Engineering and Kenne Bell have a very close relationship. We have come to the realization, that in order to better serve the Corvette community, the KB needs a dedicated liaison that’s main goal is to service its customers. Kenne Bell has an extremely large product line that moves more than a few hundred units per month. The ONLY way they are able to keep the customers costs in line and the quality high, is by running a streamlined and budget oriented operation. But in the end, the KB on the Corvette is sooo new, that it requires someone dedicated to handle all of the questions that come up.

This brings me to the announcement…

Effective 1/9/08, Total Performance Engineering is now heading up (along with Kenne bells involvement) the continuing nationwide marketing and sales of the Kenne Bell Corvette line. Our goal is to be the LEADING Kenne Bell Supercharger installation and sales division for the US.
With this, the rules have changed a bit for the Corvette line. Being that TPE is soo heavily involved with the KB, we have been granted exclusive United States sales rights to introduce the S/C to customers that may not have had a chance to normally purchase this item..

What does this mean??

We have been granted the ability to distribute these systems nationwide to customers outside of our market region. The reason this has been granted, is due to the fact that this S/C system needs to make a presence in the Corvette community. Once the KB has sufficiently made its debut, I am sure the standard policies will be in place.

Also, this relationship will allow its customers to direct the questions, concerns, orders, and ideas directly to us. This insures you are able to get through to someone either immediatly or in most cases within a day. No more waiting days or weeks (and sometimes never) for someone to contact you. If you need a part, a hood, a price, or a technical question, you can contact us. This also goes for the dealers throughout the US.
OR, you may still contact Ken (member KBTECH) He is one of the most knowledgeable twin screw engineers I have ever met. Not to mention a very good friend. Finally, you are more than welcome to contact KB direct.

We are aware that this may indeed upset a few of KB’s current dealers. This being said, if a dealer in a specific location is an active installer, TPE will make an arrangement with your organization for service and installation. Our goal is to finaly put the KB on the map, NOT take from its dealers..

Finally, TPE is an authorized installation center for Kenne Bell. I am confident that we have the ability and knowledge to sell, install, and service your KB as good as the best in the business. So please don’t hesitate to contact us for you KB purchase and installation..

So guys, if you need a KILLER price on the sale and/or installation of a KB, shoot me a PM. I assure you, with my pricing, you WILL NOT be disappointed.


Coming Soon...... HUGE KB SALE. (These kits are in stock and ready to ship..)

This is a little misleading in the C6 tech forum as there is currently no kit for the C6 guys (LS2 or LS3) and it's not exactly on the front burner from Ken's recent posts in the C6 FI forum.

Yes, Ken himself posted in another thread that the KB SC will not be available for the C6 until the ZR1 is out and they have had time to develop a kit that will fit the ZR1, LS2 and LS3. What exactly are you (the OP) refering to here?
