According to KB, this blower will run efficiently in the 23k-25k RPM range!!! :rolling:


Here is a graph of a different pull a few days later that hit close to 800/800!



About the dip as soon as the graph starts, here is another quote taken from the owner

when you buy me one!!!

I have actually been contemplating that since I heard about it from Rey for the first time. I wasn't aware that it had been released yet!!!

The reason I went with nitrous is because its cheap and I have other major financial obligations right now! But in a couple years I may work on a whole new setup. And it just may be supercharged!!!


Or will it???????

I hope you hit your mark, Mark. **** I'm just hoping to see the hp numbers you have already made.

I should be able to see 550rwhp with 150hp shot of nitrous. Hell, I made 400 at the tires on motor alone.

Count me out. I'm done modding this car. I'm looking at buying a house, while adding an Escalade, QX56, or new ZO6 to the stable within the next 2 yrs so I'm not throwing any more $$$ into this. I could of had 2 C5s w/ as much as I've already put into this. Oh well, you live and you learn, but life will go on. How's your whipple project coming along tho?

I have been watching very carefully. when all the bugs are worked out, who knows? They do sound bad azz though. Might just go quadruple stage dry instead, on an ls7. Or wait on the new super Z06 (650hp stock and blown)to be released in the not so distant future, who needs a house when you can blow all your money on fast cars, fast women and pictures of beer.

Edit: Rey, it's time to MAN up and show up to some of the races.

That's a cool color too. I do love that whine. I hope there's room for a KB type huffer on the new Camaro.
