Thinking of Supercharging my car

[Travis@boostworks]

We haven't been on the forums as much recently.. It's been ridiculously busy at the shop, as we've been prepping to move into our new facility.

There are plenty of pics with our KB based systems if you search this section.

We hold the hp record for a supercharged 2015 GT at 1118whp using a 4.2L Kenne Bell.

Here's a brand new 2016 GT that we finished last week. It has our 850hp package using a 3.2L, liquid cooled Kenne Bell compressor, along with our fueling and tuning.

We're running a 10% off sale on our packages right now, too. If you're interested or need more info, you can reach us at [email protected] or 281-398-1850.

Thanks!

Polished 850hp package

I have had Kenne Bell on my fox Mustang for more than 10 years 3 different compressors and the product is top notch, but the customer service from Kenne Bell was horrible. They changed slightly over the past 5 years or so but its still hit or miss with them, no consistency in tech support or service. You may have better luck with Boostworks supporting you if you buy from them, but KB I wouldn't trust.

I'm sorry you found them difficult to work with. I've worked very hard to offer top notch support with our KB based packages. We always deliver and hold the twin screw hp record, along with the half mile land speed record for the 2015 chassis using the base 2015 KB kit and nothing more than a larger compressor.

Thank you for you input as I was seriously thinking about kb

Travis, Happy New Year!
How come you don't include/offer 8/10-Rib system. I used to run Paxton on my old Z06 and had lots of slipping when the belt would get hot or after 3 weeks of running a new belt, until I switched to 8-rib system.

Secondly, those prices on your site, exclude installation, right?

Are your hp/tq numbers flywheel or rear wheel numbers? Also, you stated the 850 package uses a 3.2 liter but your website says its a 2.8?

 

[Travis@boostworks]

We haven't had any belt slip issues under 850hp with our 6 rib system. We do have an optional 8 rib kit, which is shown on the engine above. We've made over 1100whp on the 8 rib. Our 10 rib kit will be out soon along with an alternator brace kit.

We rate at the flywheel. Whp varies depending on dyno brand, conditions, etc. Our 850hp kit usually makes 700-725whp.

You can choose either compressor. We try to be flexible to meet our many customer's demands.. Instead of just having a single option that people have to work with.

What would be the upside and downside of going with the 2.8 vs. 3.2? Thank you for answering questions!

Just depends on your max hp goals.. If you want to make 850 now and maybe 1000-1100hp later the 3.2 might be the better option. 900-950, maybe the 2.8..

The 3.2 is a stop-gap between the 2.8 and the larger family 3.6 and 4.2 compressors.

 

[Travis@boostworks]

Downside for having a larger compressor than you need is power loss from parasitic drag. So, you wouldn't want too big of a compressor for your hp goals.. Much like turbo sizing.

So if we wanted the 3.2 it would be the same price because I know I saw on your website before that it was a 3.2

I do love the Kenne Bell compressor and glad to see another distributor concerned will good sales and service with this wonderful supercharger. I would like to know more about the calibration that comes with your kit. Yes I already bought a Whipple and its on the way, but for the sake of other and maybe me in the future who knows. could you speak more on the calibration features with the KB as it was really important to me that it be spot on for all drivability and starting hot and cold as well as power with the Whipple.

My procharged S550 has the intake filter tucked in the fender well behind the headlight, Nowhere near the headers. I believe Vortech might be the one near the headers, but I don't know much about Paxton/Vortech.

You are correct. The filter is up front and nowhere near the exhaust.
