Who has a Kenne Bell???

I'm leaning towards a Kenne Bell Mammoth 2.8LC for my 2010 SS L99 and would truly appreciate hearing some feedback from others with the same or from anyone with solid knowledge.

Mods I have but not on yet....
Detroit Speed Kit 2 suspension system
Borla Cat-Back ATAK Exhaust system
DeWitt Aluminum Radiator

Thanks Much

CC-rider does.

Depending on what you want out of it, it can be a decent option. It wouldn't be my first choice, as I like the TVS style PD blowers more, and they have more/better support, but for a mild build that blower can work as long as you don't want to make too much power.

Kenne Bell is good for 800rwhp with supporting mods. It looks great under the hood.

Just looking to add 150 - 200 hp's without doing much else to her.
I'm trusting that the Street-2 suspension kit by Detroit Speed with be enough to keep anything from breaking.

For this level of power you can do a Heartbeat.

Depending on the use, how you drive, a ProCharger drives more like a NA motir, more linear than a KB or HB.

I've got one. Posted here quite a bit. Search my threads and posts and you can get a lot of info. Or let me know what specific Q's you have and I'll answer.

With just the base kit on my stock LS3...I put down 525 hp at the wheels. Roughly 150 hp increase (I never dyno'd stock so not 100% sure).

Bottom line...it's a great blower and I really enjoy it. I don't have any bad words to say about it. It's great in base form, and has a lot of room to grow. As already mentioned, many fine options for us Camaro owners. All of them make great power. But perhaps none are more overlooked than the Kenne Bell.

My use would be strictly street as a daily driver, no track but i'm not sure how to describe "how I drive", I'll get on it of the line from time to time and on the open road.

I was looking at the TVS2300 Heartbeat Hybrid-roots supercharger but their website says only for 2013 - 2015

ever thought about a whipple they seem to do real well, if your looking for a moderate power gain and trying to save some coin how about a zl1 conversion, plenty of guys on here have done this and are quite happy with it, it actually was my first choice, but i decided on a centrifugal in the end

Before I traded in my 2014 SS in for my 2015 ZL1, I was planning to go with a centrifugal too as I had a Procharger on my 2003 Corvette and it performed very well.

When I think Kenne Bell I always think about Buick race parts but that's going back a lot of years.

The HB is an awesome unit. I have one coming in to install on an '11 at the end of June. Magnuson told me it would fit, so we'll see.

I provided ProCharger my personal Camaro back on 2009 for a developmental install. We loved it.
