Soo Kenne Bell has a supercharger for the 5.3 tahoe.. why wouldnt this work for our cars?

I'm gonna guess it's because of fitment/clearance issues. Trucks have a lot more space under the hood for a supercharger. We just don't have that kind of room. We barely have room for a small turbo. I'm sure someone would have already gone the s/c route if it was possible.

Nope,Kenne Bell won't ever make a S/C for another FWD platform after there experience with a PT Cruiser.I spoke with the owner son about loaning my car,they said if they were to do it his father owns an 06 Imp SS,but don't plan on doing any FWD S/C.There located in Rancho Cucamonga ,CA about 5 min away from my job.I've already spoke with them on this and they said the PT Cruiser had TOO much torque steer which made it a walkin death trap.

Here is there number. If you want to call. 909-941-6646

our cars are different than a PT. one major diff is that they suck and ours don't if you want a s/c that bad take the hood off lol

Question for you ,how much traction do you get right now with the mods you have?Think this is direct power to the wheels,which means no traction and a whole lot of torque steer...Clearence isn't the only problem,the problem we have is traction

a Kenne Bell Supercharger would be perfect!!! but as it was stated, we have no room for it. I know im going to get flamed for this but check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW3EMIR53ds

can anyone say "TRACTION"

Hawkins04

iTrader: (4)

oh yea i know traction is the issue mine is stock and most days i cant keep traction. i was just kidding about what i said. if i got a s/c i wouldn't put it on a fwd V8

Right on,after the first header group buy I thought about doing a group buy on the S/C.But they told me NO,that they would never do another FWD platform (4 banger,v-6,v-8)...

yea i remember that i joined right before the first header group buy. i knew someone tired to get kenne bell to do one but forgot exactly who it was

I hate how the base their choice on the freakin' PT Cruiser...

They make things called radials and slicks.

Hawkins04

you cant drive on them everyday though

JP_GXP

I've got a couple of friends that daily radials.

But my car won't be my DD when the high horsepower time comes.

I agree with you on that.That would crazy always rolling on DR with a DD,Every stop light you would have to "Live your life a quater mile at a time"LOL!!!

id say its just an excuse. even if traction is still an issue no one ever said that 30 mph rolls isnt fun?

DrJesus616

i wouldnt support any forced air power adders because mines a daily driver and i like to keep the gas mileage ....

anyways, i dont like doing launches as it is, i like 30-40 rolls anyways ... there is only really one highway around here that you can find stoplights with speed limits near 50 MPH ... other than that ... no way am i getting pulled over for drag racing from lights in Illinois ...

You should give them a call to see what excuse they give you,**** they might base it on the 3800 S/C if that makes a difference.

just as an FYI, power adders don't really use more gas if you keep your foot out of it.

In my opinion that's a pretty dumb reason for not manufacturing a part that's in demand, if that is in fact the true reason. I would think it's more because of the low production numbers for LS4 vehicles. There are plenty of FWD cars out there that torque steer but still have aftermarket support.

A positive displacement supercharger like a KB would demand more fuel at all RPMs and load though wouldn't it?
