Default Does Kenne Bell make a blower for the 98-02 Fbod?

I was reading in the Super Chevy I got and you know every year they put out the Christmas gift ideas. Anyway it says, "Kenne Bell has the biggest, baddest, highest horsepower, and coolest liquid-cooled billet SC. Why settle for a little cast AL 2.3 liter when you can have a more efficient billet TS for your 01-02 Camaro. All kits feature the same 1200hp rated rear inlet Mammoth Cool Air Inlet System" There is obviously more but my question is 1) was it a typo and should have stated 11-12 Camaro? and if it isn't how in the hell did they get the Mammoth inlet to work? I looked around on here and didn't find any info and knowing what I know about the cowl and how tight things are in the car I felt pretty sure it was a typo......but if it isn't a liquid cooled Kenne Bell sure would be pretty badass.

That has to be a typo, I don't think they make a kit for the 4th gen

About 10 yrs ago, I had a Kenne Bell on a 5.9 Srt Dakota. I could never get it to run right ( 2 different shops couldn't either). Maybe things have changed since then.

I'm not interested in having a dick measuring contest about X version of FI is better than Y. I just wanted to know if it was a typo or not. If not I'm very curious how they got the Mammoth inlet to work. As far as the KB stuff goes especially the water cooled units seem to be making really good power.

They don't have 01-02 in their price list.

Sounds like you need to call Kenne Bell, 909-941-0985

I called KB a couple of years ago and asked if I could buy a kit with a front F-drive. The guy was rude and told me he'd fire any of his people who tried to do a Camaro kit. Just as well I guess. Their kit hosed several vette owners with IAT's and low power.

I wouldn't consider 800 low but high IAT's yes. That is solvable though.
