Default Kenne bell ((big bore))

Hi...

i'm looking for any information about the new kenne bell big bore supercharged

I have corvette ZO6 2003 with 402cid LS2 block 9.5cr with APS twin turbo installed , the car made 751hp/800tq @15psi but i threre's problem with the turbo after 4500 rpm the boost will drop down to 9 or 10 psi and i know i should change the turbo with bigger one cause the APS turbo is too small for 402cid .

but now i'm looking to sell my APS kit and get the BIG BORE

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ???????

Keep what you have, i would stick with the turbos. Upgrade them or check for collapsing inlet hoses.

Give Louis over at LG Motorsports a call, he has tons of experience with the APS stuff and can get you fixed up.

The KB setup would be a blast, but its just easier to upgrade your turbos and you can make more power.

I bumped your thread before. Make a call to LGM and get yourself a set of C6Z gt35r's. Peter says they will work with a smaller msd starter. APS should know they purchased their own corvette to start testing the big turbos with but it died somewhere in R&D and we dont get a "big brother" for the base kit.

I would try to figure out what the issue is with your current setup. No reason to scrap the APS turbo setup because it seems to be having a minor issue, that I am sure can be figured out.
