I've had one for almost 2 years now and I like it. You have full boost by 2000 rpm and keep it all the way to rev limiter. In my opinion you can't beat a postive displacement blower for street driving but they they aren't serious race blowers. I don't know what they max out at but I do know that a friend of mine with the older/smaller KB blower was making over 500 RWHP before he split his block. So I guess the bottom line is that if you want a great street blower capable of making 500+ RWHP then the KB is an excellent choice. If you want a full race blower capable of making 600-1000 RWHP then look into the centrifugal blowers. Now before anybody gets upset I want to clarfiy that I am not saying that centrifugals won't make a good street blower but that they are best at the track and the postive displacements are best on the street but both will still do quite well in any enviroment but excell in differant applications from each other. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will do my best to answer them. Good luck with whatever you decide to go with.

92GT all the free stuff and a few bolt-ons, lowered with Ebiach's and Koni's, Kenny Brown subframe connectors, lower G-brace and jacking rails. BBK upper and lower control arms, polyurethane bushings all around and Ken Bell blower, ram-air, 80mm mass air, etc.
