Re: Kennebell chargers
KB is one of the most arrogant SOBs in the car hi-po biz. Keep calling. His s/c's are the best if intercooled. Hence, his ability to act that way and still make cash.

Re: Kennebell chargers
Not only are they impossible to get a hold of, their tech support is lacking. I had a KB supercharger on a Dodge Ram that ran extremely lean, too lean to detonate fortunately. They were unable to provide any assistance to the diagnostic shop the truck was at and eventually resulted in the diagnostic shop advising them on how to measure flow rates from the injectors. That was after 3 weeks of waiting for calls to be returned and getting through for spec requirements from Kenne Bell. Good product, truely worthless support. Save yourself and go magnacharger!

Re: Kennebell chargers
Our 03 has been KB charged for over 2 years now.
Well 1st was a debacle with Whipple, once i got all that crap off it, it's performed flawlessly except for GM related failures.
I seriously need an intercooler in the Tejas Heat, Cmon KB bring it.

What kind of crap did you take off of it and what were the GM related failures?

Re: Kennebell chargers
Kennebell are truly wankers!! Call Magnusun tech and they bend over backwards to help you out.

Bill, you remember me early on when i called Maggie for my parts. Denny n Dallas
Whipple - removed:
Extra injector in manifold
Crappy ECU piggy back module and programming

a box full of wires and hoses
Currently running GM 7.4 Injectors and Nelson's Tune
Failures.....
Tranny line burst in radiator taking out transmission
Steering Box crapped out
Alternator failed
Body Mounts
Ac Compressor
Axel Shafts Front
Several Alignments
Oil Leaks, Motor & Tranny
Interior pieces being fragile and breaking or scratching easily
Window glass getting scratched from internal mechanism
Rear air leveling stays on -replaced once
Water Pump
I'm sure I could remember a few more but i'm depressed enought for now.

X2. That'll get you a call back.
Back in the day when KB was making a name for himself running Buick GN's I used many of his parts and support was great. I guess they've gotten too big for their own good.

Re: Kennebell chargers
I wished i had something to compare it too, it's never been a Tire smoker.
As far as i know it runs fine. at least when it's not broke.
Replacing the AC sys. now.
Hopefully this is the last thing for a while,

Re: Kennebell chargers
I guess that my question should have been, does it run better now that you put the larger injectors, bypassed the extra injector and installed the Nelson programmming as compared to before?

Re: Kennebell chargers
Oh good grief yeah.
But it's been a painful endeavor I'd likely not pursue again.
