Default Will a KB blower whine too?

Will the KB 2.6 on 8 psi whine like the maggie does? Cause i love that sound. But its pretty much certian 500whp or more with just the KB kit bolted on, dont think the maggie can do that without a cam right?

Yea KB is loud and many C5 Z06's run over 500RWHP with maggies FWIW. If you support the bottom end the KB will get you more HP in upper boost levels.

i heard my kb the other day and was shocked how loud it was. i am confused cause the whipple was dead silent. both twin screw but the whipple was side mount, kb is top mount. maybe that's the difference?

One of my favorite vids ever. Be sure to turn up the volume. This is the older 2.2 and 2.4 style blower not the newer H tall rotor design like the 2.6 and 2.8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXsAYCrvNsg
