Kenne Bell vs Whipple

I wanna change my supercharger and am looking for maximum power. Which style makes more. Seems the whipples have a better design, but it seems Kenne Bell's have better track times with less mods. Just trying to figure out which setup I should go with next and can't really seem to make up my mind.

Whipple is good if she's your DD. As you can vary the amount of boost and what not.

Also, can I call dibs on your current/soon-to-be old supercharger?

While I haven't seen to many overboard LSX Whipple builds, I have seen it on some mod motor cars. It's not hard to reach 1000+ rwhp with the right Whipple blower bolted on. I know Kenne Bell makes a nice blower too but I'd lean towards a Whipple if it were my build.

You can do the same with the Kenne Bell 2.8, 2.8LC, 3.6LC and 4.2LC

Its not hard to reach a 1100+ RWHP with a KB. I can see by your sig why you would go with a Whipple with your build but I understand that's business.

Both are capable of making serious power, but I went with the Whipple due to liking its design better than the KB, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I would say you can't go wrong with either one.

Why not just go a 3.2 or a 3.0 pulley on the maggie first? Your sig says your running 7 psi so run 10-12 and you will still be in the range of the maggie

That's what I asked you for? Does that mean you don't have the proof? I have KB data but doesn't seem you would believe that. Get the data for both superchargers both at the same starting engine coolant temp, same ambient temp/humidity, same intercooler water temp(starting), same intercooler coolant mixture, same IAT location (not in the air pipe, in the discharge manifold), same boost and both on completely stock set ups the way the kits come out of the box. No aftermarket parts, cold air kits, throttle body, etc. stock for stock.

You didn't ask me that cuz I didn't say anything about it until you ask HIm if he could back it up.
