Kenne Bell SC??

I notice Kenne Bell is making an LS2 supercharger for the Vette

ttp://www.kennebell.net/superchargers/gm/Corvette/gmCorvette.htm

Anyone know how this compares to a Magnacharger? I don't see a GTO package (couldn't be to difficult??), but I haven't heard of any issues with the Bell SC.

I emailed them and they said it wouldn't fit under the hood and there were no plans to make one for the gto.

Yepp, I got the same response...
For our cars, my understanding is ProCharger is a really good application and makes the most power.

Kenne Bell is local to me, I just went for my boost a pump. The charger is 12 1/2 inches high. YOu have to cut into the upper firewall below the windshield wipers and do some retrofitting. I'd be looking to wait for the whipple charger they are coming out with for our cars (Supposedly)

It's possible but some major fabrication is needed

It is a Twin-Screw type of Blower which compresses differently than a Maggie, it's power band is in the Mid-Ranged RPMs I believe, rather than the Low from a Roots (Maggie) & and High from the Centrifugal (Pro-charger)

I think Someone had a whipple already, Do a search on Mister Mike's Twin Screw
Here's a vid

You might wanna try a Harrop SC, www.Harrop.com.au
So far I haven't seen anyone in the U.S. with one, it's a twin screw like a Kenne Bell & Whipple
& People have them on thier Manaro's in Australia, my causin has one on his 05 Commodore SS

My preference is with a Pro-charger but I am seriously thinking of getting a Harrop SC

I love pro-charger for the power they make BUT. I like stealth. The pro-chargers ive heard are very loud so its deffinetely noticeable that you have a s/c under the hood. Only downfall for me
