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 that has true knowledge on this topic.
Mods I have but not on yet....
Thanks Much Last edited by SS hp; 05-28-2016 at 09:13 AM. |

I would think w/the size of the LS3 (6.2L) that a 3.6 would be more suitable?

Agreed ^^^^
Both superior blowers IMO

Just because I believe the Heartbeat or LSA are better setups, doesn't mean I'm saying anything bad about KB. Don't take it so personal.
Just like I think an ECS kit is a better blower setup than HB or LSA. Doesn't mean I'm saying anything bad about the HB or LSA kits. Or ARH headers are better than Kooks Or Mantic clutchs are better than McLeods. Any commercially available camaro 5 blower setup is decent. Some are better than others. I would not put the KB at the top of the list of PD blowers.

2300's are cheaper. But I'm not sure that being cheaper should be a category that supports the term "superior". Aside from them being cheaper, I struggle to see how anyone could make the claim of superiority. |

Kenne Bell Mammoth 2.8LC vs. Magnuson Heartbeat TSV2300
It's between either the Kenne Bell Mammoth 2.8LC or the Magnuson Heartbeat TSV2300 Both seem quality kits. One more thing I would like to throw in the mix though is the Cam. I miss the sound of the lope my off road Cam gave me in my Corvette and would like to have that same lope in this Camaro. I'll need the L99 to LSe conversion kit but what cam would you suggest to give me a nice lope sound?

One more thing about the Kenne Bell that no other Camaro blower option has is that wonderful supercharger whine. It's a small and superficial thing...but I personally love the sound of a supercharger screaming. And to be fair...the Magnusson is a great blower as well. We have many great options to choose from and the Maggie has proven it's worth a thousand times over. |

Not sure why you're so hung up on Kenne Bell. Are you the type that states that whatever you have is the best and superior just because it's what you picked? Does your family own Kenne Bell or something? OP, like stated earlier you have better choices than the engine heater that is Kenne Bell. A Heartbeat Maggie or TVS 2300 or even an LSA will be a better choice as they're all superior blowers.

Well, I have a 2300 and American racing headers and full 3" exhaust. So I guess I'm biased but I reviewed all the same options as everyone else. They all have a upside and downside. The only Keeny Bell stuff I see is on 5 liter mustangs. Haven't seen anything impressive with them but that not an honest comparison. Certainly haven't seen this special efficiency that makes all this additional power per pound of boost. Someone come up on the net with some real data and I'll entertain the idea they are something to consider. Probably no better , no worse .
