Well, see...Kenie Bels are a "twin screwed" superchrger. If the "screws" get 'loose' they dont spin right and car isnt fast anymore.
LOL. Seriously, though...
Anyone with a KB on a DOHC 4.6 making less than 600HP has no business with that car.

Well, Zacs car for example has a "STOCK" Blower???? Who know but that thing is crazy. With my big motor etc. I was only able to pull 1/2 a car on him from 2nd to the top of 4th. Yes it was cold out side etc, but that is still pretty impressive.
I too have raced cobras on the other hand that i have not even had to down shift for. To settle this I think you should race Zac with his top down and see how it goes. When I put a 1/2 car on Zac I was trapping 125mph at the time just to give you an idea.

i know no one believes my story of how i beat a 500whp cobra from a dig w/ only 350whp. but i did, there was a video of it from inside the cobra but it never made it pass that night.
but believe me i KNOW on the highway its a totally different story. then i would say he was bs'n

Why does everyone not think that a kenne bell car can not have 530 hp? Not every one with a kb makes 6++ power. You said he had the smallest blower so that is a 2.2. Not every person wants to run 18 to19 pounds of boost all the time. Now, if he had the 4" upper on the car that would be around 13#s. Friend of mine and his brother with two cobras. One kb......one pulled eaton. Kb car made more power, but the eaton carsomehow manage to beat him beat him. When they changed the pulley combo on the kb car different story.
You raced a kenne bell car and beat him. congrats.......next time it maybe different. you might just find a pulley chip car that will hand you your ***.

cause IMO it would be pointless to throw alomst 3k in a kit to only make what a ported eaton would make.Also there are some guys on SVT performance that said they have raced this guy and whopped him already..
