Let me throw a wrench into this. Has anyone looked at the Kenne Bell unit?
Thy replace the injectors like Magna. No intercooler like the whipple, but the roots type supercharger has to run more boost than the twin screw because it is not as efficent.
Thats why lile I posted earlier a Whipple with 5.5 lbs of boost made more HP than a Magna Radix with 8 lbs.
But on the Kenne Bell here are a few things on it:
Big increase in horsepower and torque - EVERYWHERE.
• INSTANT FULL BOOST / HORSEPOWER & TORQUE at ANY rpm - 2000 up.
• No "boost lag" as with centrifugal superchargers & turbos.
• Fat flat torque curve for performance, towing, climbing etc.
• Boost and power on demand only when needed.
• Includes Kenne Bell OPTIMIZER ll™ to reprogram fuel, spark and trans.
• Whisper Quiet. Bypass valve system.
• Internally lubricated. No tapping holes in oil pan. Doesn't use engine oil.
• 8 new high capacity injectors. No injection of fuel into stock "dry" manifold.
• Retains preferred "dry flow" stock manifold concept for more even fuel distribution and maximum power.
• 60°-80° cooler air charge temperature and requires 10-16 less HP to drive than Roots style*.
• No other engine or transmission changes required.
• Available in satin finish or polished.
• Best Engineered Kit. Knock protection.
• All necessary parts included in kit.
• Billet aluminum supercharger.
and it is $500.00 less than the Whipple and over a $1000 less than the Magna.
