Default Kenne Bell Boosted Cars

Curious on feedback in those who have/had them and their reliability. I’ve got close to 30k on my 2.6L LS6 setup and so far no issues at 600hp. Other than breaking all the stock driveline lol

I’m only familiar with those on Hemi’s.
Two to be exact. My boss at the time created a cog belt drive for them. My job was to perfect the alignment and install.

Other than keeping the front pulley on, I don’t recall any issues with the blowers. Made big power!

The rear inlet is unique.

Nice C5. Does that fit under the stock hood?

I had the factory alternator bracket fail early on at like 20k miles that was the original GM faulty bracket design. Even tho it was not their product failure, KB replaced the upgraded snout for free similar to what you mentioned. Excellent customer service. Its an aftermarket hood that was also from KB. Ive never seen another one in person so maybe should start a poll!

Not sure about Kenne Bell, but I have put over 120k on a Whipple before it started getting noisy from the drive snout bearing.
