Real world Data/Testing for Kenne Bell/Boost Works Systems..

Just a very small sample of the behind the scenes work that goes into designing and testing parts with Kenne Bell.. Dyno, Track, and Highway/real world testing all take months and months to get data.

Here's a video with 2 back to back 150+mph highway bombs, in a 700whp, 3.15 gear/auto car. 2 big ass guys and a full tank of 93 octane.

Here's the data-log, after driving the car 15 minutes to get to this stretch of road. IAT's are at 126 at 150mph before lifting. That's back to back floggings, and starting off at 113 degrees IAT before the first pull.




Red (ACT)= Downstream charge air temps (post blower IAT's.. 126 degrees max. This is two back to back 150mph hits after driving for 15 minutes prior)
Blue (SAFTOT)= Ignition advance (timing at a conservative/safe 18.3 degrees on 93 octane)
Orange (VS_IN_MPH)= Vehicle speed in MPH (150mph on this pull/log)
Green (KNOCK)= Timing being added or taken away due to knock. A negative number here means that the PCM not seeing any knock, and adding that amount of timing. So, for -1.6XX, we were actually adding 1.6XX degrees. Total timing is shown in the blue column.



Another 800s equipped (manual car). 684whp, same package. Multiple highway bombs to 150+mph on 93 octane.

On top of that.. here's a video that RacingFX made of this same exact car. We burned 3/4 of a tank of 93 that evening in about an hour. Racing non-stop against multiple cars..

Solid IAT and timing figures.. no knock. We back up what we sell with real world data, and testing on the track and on the street.

But, let's go a step further, and out on the extreme end of things:

Here's our 1200whp 2015 GT (1130whp at the time) running the Texas Mile. Went 178mph at the 1/2 mile, and couldn't run it out the back because of a hard coded speed limiter at 300kph, which Lund hadn't figured out a way around. Data-log shows Torque Source 3 (vehicle speed limiter) at 181mph, but we were on a 29" tall Hoosier R7. So, we were actually around 191mph on GPS. You can hear me hit the speed limiter in 5th gear at 191-192mph on the GPS. Watch in high resolution, and you can see the actual GPS speed on the unit mounted to the dash.

Here's the datalog for that run, showing at 191mph on GPS.



Here's the breakdown in color coded sections for those who aren't used to looking at logs:

Red (ACT)= Downstream charge air temps (post blower IAT's)
Blue (SAFTOT)= Ignition advance (timing)
Orange (VS_IN_MPH)= Vehicle speed in MPH (off by about 10mph due to taller tire.. 181mph was actually 191-192mph on the 29" Hoosier)
Green (KNOCK)= Timing being added or taken away due to knock. A negative number here means that the PCM not seeing any knock, and adding that amount of timing. So, for -2.9xx, we were actually adding 2.9xx degrees. 18.8 to 19 degrees of timing (shown in blue) at 1130whp on E85 is pretty nice.
Yellow (TQ_SOURCE)- If you look at the last 2 cells (highlighted), you can see we go TQ SOURCE 3, which means vehicle speed limiter. This is the hard coded limiter that we couldn't get around.
Purple (TIME)= Amount of time in milliseconds that the log was recording. At the top of this pull, the car had been running and logging for 1 minute and 25 seconds. That's crank up, slight warm up, burnout, and about 3/4 of a mile of run time at WOT.

This was with a STOCK Kenne Bell lower manifold, intercooler, and fittings. We ran 1" hose to the back of the car, with a 10 gallon cell, and reduced down to 3/4" hose about a foot and 1/2 before and after the intercooler. 1" hose returns to the tank in the back. Flow rate is 4.8 gallons per minute this way. This car is driven on the highway in Houston traffic all the time. His IAT's never get above 125 or so cruising at slow speed in traffic.

So, There's real world data from mild to wild in terms of what we offer. We change nothing from KB in terms of the lower manifold. For the most part, the core of each and every one of these systems is the same, whether you buy a 750hp system or a 1500hp system. The best part is that you can upgrade from one extreme to the other (and anywhere in between) without having to buy all new parts. Want 1500hp and have a 750hp package? Simply swap blowers.. everything else is the same in terms of the blower kit/hardware.

We are 100% transparent, and will answer just about any question you have.
