Whipple or kenne Bell SC??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

AntzV · 07-11-2011, 05:24 AM

I need some help on deciding what SC I should purchase! I narrowed it down to 2 SC that I want (whipple and kenne bell). I have a 2010 SS L99, I currently have a mast stage 2 VVT cam, dod delete kit, Halltech CAI, kooks LT n off road mid pipes and a custom tune.
I want to get to about 600RWHP. Any input would be great

Thanks

^^. Either blower will get you to your goals with ease.

Kb looks amazing under the hood and would be rare to see as no one would have one in the area. Draw backs are Aprox 1200-1500$ additional cost and potential higher iat's.

Whipple, Amazing blower. We just seen the max output with joes car which on a stock cube forged engine was 811rwhp and 805rwtq.

Both will get you there, but Whipple`s IAT`s seem to be better from reports from other members. I have a Whipple and have run the time in the sig w/ a completely stock engine, just bolt-ons and stock pulley on the blower. KB is a great unit just get meth injection to keep the IAT`s down if you go that route.

KB all the way with a good tune

WHIPPLE! Until KB solves their high IAT's.

Yep...and meth does little for IAT's when injected pre blower.

Nitrous.

Sure, their IAT's can get high...Unless you plan on street racing all the time, or going to the track non-stop I wouldn't worry too much about it. Plus there is a new "Chiller" system coming out that I'm currently looking into.

Both blowers are great. I think it comes down to which one you like the looks of more.

Reading the posts on Whipple, it appears to be an unbelievable power adder, and obviously a blower with which you would be happy. That being said, I love my Kenne Bell. The Bell turned my car into a beast and I have no regrets other than 630 HP feels a little slow now, so I am dropping the car off with John at APF tomorrow to do a little somethin' somethin' to the motor and various other parts to see if we can't make it feel "fast" again

Either blower you pick is going to make you happy, I think. Just be prepared to continue opening the wallet over and over.

I think one day my wife is going to ask how I spent $20,000.00 on that damn alternator, if you get my drift

I told my girl it was all for fuel economy. It worked!

Thanks for all the input guys I do appreciate it but I do like the looks of the kenne bell over the whipple, and I have yet to see a kenne bell SC here in CO, and I only go to the track about 3 times a year and make about 3 to 4 passes with about and hour wait between each run, so not really to worried about the high IAT's and I only really drive it to car shows/meets.

GATORJAK · 07-11-2011, 04:37 PM

Dyno'd at 475 RWHP 475 rwt. No headers, Borla S type cat backs.

did the install myself. It all went smooth with the outstanding customer service from Whipple!!!
