I like centrifical S/Cs...why, because they are ALOT easier on the engine, not in full boost at low RPMs like SOME turbos and roots blowers....notice all the "then my rod let go" posts from the guys running KBs on stock engines.Anyways look at what companys S/C has made the worlds fastest car on pump gas...PROCHARGER. 8.18 @ 170MPH...case closed.

KB is a Twin Screw blower not a Roots blower, both positive displacement, but definately not the same, so I guess I don't vote at all. But, I would vote for a KB if T/S was listed!
I cant believe it took 21 posts for someone to say that. THANK YOU! lol
So pat, how you been? :flag:

Oh yea, my vote's for TWIN SCREW

Devin - way too much "bad" in the world, so it's keeping me real busy if you know what I mean :( but can always be worse.

Where U at now? Blue's still running great, but haven't been to the track in Yongin since real early spring. Got 23K now with the KB (79K total) and running strong. Haven't broke anything yet so guess I'm getting my money's worth. :nice:

I'm in italy now :banana: I love it here! Except for the fact that its a two year tour and the car is parked at home again. BUT not to worry, She will be there waiting for me when i return, along with a big heavy box from Kenne Bell :banana: :banana:. hopefully a 2.2L if i can figure a way to fit it under the stock hood. :D
 
My 01 will defintaly have a turbo/turbos under the hood when i get the time to build it..

Ive ran both a single turbo and S-trim on my 94, and have driven in a roots blown 02 GT (Saleen), and wouldnt go back to the troubles i had with the centrifugal.
S-trim setup was a breeze to install though.
The fun factor with a turbo car is just 10 times more! Roots blown/Twin screw cars defintaly have that down low pulling like a train torque though. Turbo car feels more like what i would imgine a nitrous car feeling like.. Goes from mild to wild in about .50 seconds (depending on setup)
 
My procharger has been good to me and will make much more power than I currently have it tuned for... I am trying to preserve my stock rods until I can afford a shortblock. I have heard the KBs are a lot of fun on the street but won't produce the best track times, and they must be very stressfull on the car due to the massive amount of low end torque unless you have a completely bulletproof drivetrain...
