Why no Kenne Bells?
^ That should definetly make a difference. That is quite a bit of meth. At what point are you shooting to much methanol too near to the runners? As in it doesn't have enough time to work it's magic.

i ran into this thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...arger-kit.html. Loks similar the dragon racing kit, but a little more simplistic.
Thats a novel idea especially if you can setup the air to air ic, which seems like it would be easy. Only problem i see is space restraints. This would certainly control the iats. Food for thought.

I currently have a KB 2.6H supplying boost on my F150 and the raw power of the set up is insane. Those Kenne Bell superchargers are no joke. Get them set up right for your application and you won't be dissapointed what so ever. Their customer service is very good as well. The one caution I might advise you of should you decide to go with a KB is to work closely with KB tech support. It's essential that they get their superchargers are supplied with the proper amount of vacuum as they were designed for otherwise the boost bypass actuator will not function properly and that will begin a long slow process that will begin to over heat the rotors which eventually bakes the seals and causes them to crack. Once the seals crack the unit then steadily looses oil into the intake. The SC still works well but not to it's potential and the added heat due to the unit being in constant boost due to inadequate vacuum then elevates your downstream temps(IAT2) which robs power in a couple of different ways.

No they do make a kit for the vettes, But the only way they will help you is if the car is 100% stock and they sell you a tune for the car. Other than that they will have you to call Jeff at TPE. Guys please dont take what that guy tells you for the truth, I really dont think he would know it if it hit him in the face.

I posted recently suggesting Jeff just post up some builds he's done (which, according to him, are numerous) and let the product talk for him since evidently he is tired of doing. His response was basically "I'm sick of people talking badly about KB, so I"m not going to post anymore until it gets better."
What backwards logic
People there seem pretty tight lipped over at the vette site about KB. After reading this thread, I'm convinced I shouldn't touch them

There are a few, like 2, guys over at the vette site who say their KB vettes are insane, have no problems, etc. It's interesting to hear that their tuner, VA Speed, says the kits need alot of work..

Heat is a problem, need a big cooling system. We are down from the 180 degree IATs but still need a lot more work.
