i agree with marine02ss

we orderd and paid for this kenne bell blower back in may...and have not received it yet....the customer that paid for this blower, his car is ready and just waiting for this blower...we need this blower a.s.a.p.

dont know what the hold up is.....everytime we talk to ed potter on the phone he gives us the run around

we paid around $7,000 for this blower.....we feel like we got robbed?

MM!! Too bad you had bad luck with Ed!! He is really busy most of the times, I am sure he will get in touch with you.

I just paid him $7.5k for a Procharger D1 and a clutch kit and he always got in touch with me, right now I am waiting for SC and clutch to get home, I am sure Ed will keep his part of the deal.

Good luck with your problem!

Still got no answer,the owner is real frustrated right now,I am about done with his car. The owner is going to take a little trip up there on Thursday I beleive to Mr.Potter's shop,to see where his blower is.This is the deal, he was suppose to build some bracket and space out the pulley to some effect.He had some problems here and there along the way we understood since it was a custom thing.His being saying that the blower was ready like 2 months ago,so if its ready why doesnt he send it.The owner has been real patient but,he wants his product already,we dont know or have a clue what the problem is.

I dont know how the turn around is for GM stuff, but I just had a friend order a KB for his Cobra and had it in a couple days. Have you called Kenne Bell and see what the deal is there?

Wow! Why don't you tell the real story here?

You didn't just buy a Kenne Bell kit, you wanted me to design and make a kit for you that doesn't exist. I originally sold you a Magnuson 122 kit and you would have had it in a few weeks. Instead you called back and begged me to make it a Kenne Bell kit instead. I agreed to do it, but I told you up front that I had no idea how long it would take, or what it would end up costing, and you were OK with that. For you to come on here and post like you ordered something off the shelf and never recieved it is ridiculous. I have spoke with you every couple months, and informed you of progress and issues, and each time you were OK. When you started to get impatient for it, I even told you that I would give you a refund but I would have to sell your parts first, and you still wanted to keep moving forward.

We will speak on Monday and get this resolved, but you're not telling the true story here.

This is the whole truth, nobody ever said he was ripping me off.All I said is that I havent been able to reach him to talk to him.I order a Kenne Belle setup from him,and I asked him to make it custom as in,so I can run the f-body pulley setup because I wanted to keep everything low "alternator".I aslo asked him to paint it gloss black which was done 2 weeks after he recieved the blower.Well all I want is that if its ready, let get down to business,lets get this 408ci up and running and see what #'s we pull off,Thanks

That's all I want as well, but there's no need for any of this nonsense on the forum
