Both superchargers make about the same hp, the only difference is the looks and whipples low discharge temps, kb has not addres their high temps, but it's up to the buyer and how they feel about the hot temps

We found the limits of the Whipple on this Setup... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153486

Forged Stock Cubes. 811 RWHP 805 RWTQ.

KB 3.6L would provide more HP. Even better for Mid to top end power would be a F-1A or Vortech YSI Centrifical.

IMO. the front inlet Design of the Whipple looks the best. The KB looks like something out of Battlestar Galactica and that huge intake tube is an eye sore...

An eye sore? I get so many compliments, stares, neck snaps, ect at car shows just because of the supercharger alone. More so then I see with other supercharged Camaro's in the same show.

But hey, it's your opinion.

Agreed, and if they care to provide better customer support. Whipple is good on all (IMHO) but the KB is a power maker as well.

centerfold material

I guess if we all thought alike, there would only be one brand available. That said, I don't understand all the hating on the most beautiful pin-up material since Betty Paige

I don't know about you, but a huge ridiculous looking supercharger is badass, and intimidating.
