SC questions/kenne bell Okay so im really curious if anyone has messed with the kenne bell twin screw 2.6 or 2.8 on a fbody. i think i read of someone using the corvette kit with a little adaptation. I really like the idea of the twin-screw for what i want to do on my 99 camaro, but i was wanting some input from the crowd of the blown...has anyone seen one of these kits on a fbody or know of shop that has worked with them, better yet has anyone ridden in one?? Input is welcome.. but from what i see on their website dyno graph wise It looks like a great system from a reputable company and you get quite a bit..yeah its not the cheapest way to get the power, but ill take quality and reliablity and spend the extra bucks.

I don't think anyone has adapted one to an F-body yet. They are so tall you would probably be close to cutting into your windshield. There is a thread here somewhere with a kit for a Manacharger for the F-body though...

Yes, the GTO's will accomodate one as well as the corvette, F-body's won't without some serious modification. It might miss the windshield, but you will probably lose the passenger windshield wiper. I too would love to fit one in and have really thought about modding the cowl since my car is a trailer queen anyway. Just don't know enough about the KB dimensions (other than they are somewhere between 3-4 inches higher than the stock manifold sits) to know if it would work at all.

yeah i dont know about loosing a windshield wiper..mines a DD so thats not an option...cutting/modding the cowl wouldnt be too bad, its ashame KB didnt make the dimensions to accomodate the fbody market...they have a really great setup and i like the tourqe curve on the ls1 with the 2.6 it never drops off.

I wonder if it'd fit in a CTS-V

Yeah i was wondering why KB hasnt hit the FBODY market, i can only guess that they figured the cost of modding the body or developing a new casing for the SC would be to costly or would turn customers to other FI systems..i wish they could just do a little more R&D and squeeze it in there, so we could all buy it and be happy with our forced induction lives
