Where to buy KB superchargers ?

[Gearhead]

Anybody know if you have to buy directly from Kennebell ?? Prices seem kind of steep on their website...

Google is your friend. I would search Kenne Bell distributors or something along those lines. I would be willing to bet most of the prices will be the same. When companies have authorized dealers they usually set the price.

If you are installing it yourself you have to buy it straight from Kenne Bell. They only sell through dealers if the dealer is doing the install. If you find a dealer to sell you one without installing it, be careful. Kenne Bell may not cover warranty. I prefer the Whipple although we are a KB dealer. I always make more with a Whipple pound for pound.

KB made a blower for a 5.0 that was intigrated into the upper intake. Do they still make those and are they any better/worse than say a outboard type?

Ken,

Is that peak power? I have always read the KB will give you a much broader band of power through out the RPM. I will probably be in the market for supercharger next year if everything goes right. Since this is a street car I need something that has power down low as well. Thanks for the info on the dealers.

Whipple/KB basically what name do you like more. THe new Whipple which I have is suppose to be similar to the KB 2.6.

[Rick93coupe]

Do they make those for 351's?

Any postive displacement blower will give you full boost any time and at any RPM you mash the gas. KB or Whipple is pretty much a toss up. Pick which ever setup you like best.

Cool thanks. Do you have to change the hood for the Whipple? I heard you do on the KB 2.6.

Dunno, I have a Cobra. I'm not sure about the GT's.

Went to Whipple's website. They don't make a 4.6 2V kit apparently. So guess it's KB for the win.

wow the 5.0 is sweet
