Kenne Bell vs Whipple - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

boostedyards86 · 06-10-2011, 08:47 AM

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?

Juiced1 · 06-10-2011, 09:16 AM

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.

Nice avatar by the way.

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.

go whipple you won't be sorry. check the IAT's between both no comparison.

Shardik2SS · 06-10-2011, 10:27 AM

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.

Turbo99 · 06-10-2011, 10:36 AM

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

Matt@KB · 06-10-2011, 10:50 AM

do you have data to prove this?

Turbo99 · 06-10-2011, 11:00 AM

do you have data to prove different......not KB data but independent?

Matt@KB · 06-10-2011, 11:17 AM

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.

Matt@KB · 06-10-2011, 11:26 AM

My mistake

Matt@KB · 06-10-2011, 11:29 AM

OP do your research, check out both of our websites, get a HP/TQ range you want to be in and I'm sure you will be happy with the decision you make. PM me if you have any questions about our product and I will be happy to help.

Maximum power in what sense? You're already running 10.75 in the 1/4 in a stick car.. How much more do you want out of it?

94guy · 06-10-2011, 11:52 AM

i have heard a few people talk about the IAT's those guys may or may not come in here and say it. i do have 100 logs of my car showing the iat's at stop light to stop light. i just logged the car sitting at the gas pump for 3-5 min. 91-92* the iat's were 90* when i pulled up when i sat there for that time it went about 100*. under WOT they drop not climb.( i'm in new orleans so i know that your not going to find more humidity then we have.)

What charger?

94guy · 06-10-2011, 12:10 PM

whipple

Matt@KB · 06-10-2011, 12:20 PM

Was this with the IAT in the intake tube or the discharge manifold?

Much much more!!!

mcdoogle6969 · 06-10-2011, 12:39 PM

You can check out my sig to which one I went with. I'm glad I did! Probably the best looking blower out there, and it seems to make power with ease. Waiting until next summer to go all out with the car, so we will she what she puts out later on!

Matt@KB · 06-10-2011, 12:48 PM

what was the ambient temp? How much boost are you running? Sorry for the questions not trying to jack the thread.

Don't suppose you know anyone that wants an OD Cog would you? I have one that I can't use.

I was wondering the same as the others.. the TVS isn't even topped out, so I was curious where the OP was looking to stop at considering the car is running 10.75 on a stick w/ mid 600s..
