Did a whipple myself in my garage. Very easy and a nice complete kit. JR tuned and it just screams.

If those 2 were the only ones I had to choose from, I would go with Whipple.

Whipple Hands down

You can also consider Edelbrock, and SLP, and Vortech and Paxton, and Lysholm, are you confused Yet

Give me a call and I will help you with your decision.

I have a Whipple on my SS. Love it! I have a KB on a LS2 powered sand car. Just doesn't make as much power as a Whipple.

Plus with the wimple you do not have to replace or modify your hood.

I haven't used either but for looks, KB polished is hands down the most beautiful supercharger!

I actually prefer the polished whipple look. Looks are in the eye of the beholder.

Stay away from KB. Its junk unless you want a big shiny thing under your hood that just creates super high IAT's. Whipple all the way if its just between them two. I personally have the E-force though.

Have decided to do the whipple but not sure on polished or not. Don't really have polished items on car. Like the way it looks but black might be better. Would love to see some pics of people whipple setups posted.
