This kit will be truly interesting, once they begin to offer larger head units.

When they do, I might even give it a whirl.

For the price and blower size its smarter to just run an ECS kits. Too small of a blower.

We always want more.

There still be a 50hp difference between the l99 and the ls3 with the same boost unless there is a cam change and an increase to the rpm.

This kit isn't for those wanting huge power. It's for those wanting 550-600whp and has lowest IAT's of any kit out there for those wanting an awesome track setup.

I made 470 rwhp with 5 lbs of boost with a bad intercooler and boost leaks . After fixing the leaks and getting a new intercooler from kraftwerks the car made 7lbs of boost . I did a street tune after that so no idea how much it makes now but by the boost I made and what I made with 5 lbs I’m pretty sure I’m close to or over 500 rwhp . My car went from 360 with FBO (l99) to 470rwhp with just 5lbs of boost . Planning on going e85 and a btr cam later on

I do like the centris for that reason of the IATs and it creates less stress in the engine. But it has its price, all of the power that is mentioned comes in at redline.

These build boost faster than other types of centri blowers. They spin a lot faster to make up for the smaller size.

Ultimately, it boils down to keeping a blower in its optimal range of efficiency.

Then, make an educated choice. Eg, IAT comparisons, etc..

Have any dyno charts with boost and IAT logged?

Moddiction · 10-12-2017, 12:21 PM

I'll see if Kraftwerks has any I can share.

We are running another sale on these kits again if anyone is in the market!

Are there any news on the horizon, concerning the option, to order this kit with a larger head unit?

I almost feel like calling the mother ship up directly, but thought I’d ask here first.

Nothing has been released yet but there are a couple different new blowers that will be coming out in not too long it seems like.
