Unfortunately, no. Wish I would have, just never got around to it.
considerably less than it will soon as this particular charger has been discontinued and been heavily discounted. only 1 left i believe now.
Nailed it on the head. This is my third KB, but the first on a mod motor. Thing drives like stock unless you get on it. I remember spending months trying to tune my old 95 GT with the KB and never did completely eliminate all of the issues. Crazy world of horsepower we live in these days. Speaking of the 1000HP club, there’s a dealer in the states selling brand new GTs that they put a Hellion Kit on that deliver 1k at the flywheel. On the stock block. It would be cool to say you have that much power but I was able to spin the tires at highway speeds before going to 305 tires in the back. Can’t imagine you’d be able to do much with 1000HP without some major work to put it to the pavement. And who knows how long the block would stay happy.Congrats on the Supercharger purchase, curious to know how much it ended up costing all in del. to door.
Please do dyno runs before and after install
No idea where this myth about the KB blowers being underpowered has come from. @zero_chance dyno run proves this too and im sure countless others. they are just damn hard to get a hold of.
Bill Shepherd is selling the F5 for 70k and it has a KENNE BELL on it and is claiming 800hp PLUS at the crank. Built in 2017 and did the goodwood climb

The amount of testing KB do and the overkill nature of the design means all the stuff you get with the kit is good to handle 1400hp.
The 2.8LC is a twin screw SC (not a roots style SC) rated for 750hp at the crank with a 50 state legal tune on 91 octane and that's the smallest kit they offer. Get a 93 octane tune and they can add 1 to 2 more psi which is plus 20 to 40hp (plus 20hp for each psi). Anything beyond that means the engine needs to be built and resleeved. Then, you can join the 1000hp club without any real problem and shoot for as much power as you want based on how deep your pockets are.
All the big boys on the strip running reliable 1000+hp supercharged ponies doing pass after pass day after day are running big KB 4. something superchargers
Interesting that they discontinued it, do we know why? The other brands continue to offer an Eaton SC
That's decent. It would be interesting to see exact power numbers on the dyno. It's a shame that it doesnt come with a cold air intake kit which is much needed on Roots style SC's due to the higher air temps by design. (Every 10 degree F increase in temp results in the loss of 1% HP)
Dang. 3rd! You must really be happy with them. But then why wouldn't you be. The instruction are so easy, Rick and Mike are always on hand to answer any questions and the components are overkill. Everyone who has had a KB on the S550 has said the driveability is amazing. Can't wait to find that out myself.
they have a newer version based on the 2650 rather than the 2300. never quite understand the logic in reducing the price for the sake of "just wanting them gone" though. but i guess no one would buy them if they were the same price as the more efficient 2650 version. this is a good $2000 cheaper though which is a great discount.
sounds like a custom tune is definitely in order then. My KB has 500 foot pounds of torque at 3000 RPM on just their supplied tune. What boost are you at?
You don't hang about!Well, it’s fitted
Were any of the RHD mods different from what it says in the instructions?
