Default What do you guys think about the new LS1 Kenne Bell?

http://www.kennebell.net/supercharge...gmCorvette.htm

i was wondering what you guys think about the new 2.6/2.8L Intercooled KB?
I'm looking into picking one up since i've seen some kickass cars running kenne bell systems and because this is intercooled and has an independent oil system. Just checking some opinions. FYI the kit is not available for purchase as of now...

Maybe because it's been out for a very long time, far from new?

the corvette would bolt on to an ls1 in a camaro...you just need to cut parts of your windshield and cowl out....lots of parts.

And its funny cause this kit has been out for a LONG time now. And there are tons of people running it.

Its a vette drive. I called several months ago and talked to them about an f-body drive. They were adamant about not supporting any type of f-body drive kit. I think it was Jim Bell that I talked to as the guy said "I'd fire anybody I found out had tried to make a kit for that" he also mentioned that there was too much time wrapped up into making a custom kit worth their while.
