Hey guys,

I appreciate the info a while back for the KB buildup advice but now I'm on a different mindset. Which blower would be better for the car? I know for instance the Vortech kit would be intercooled and the KB is not. But I'm looking for any and all opinions and advice on the buildup, which is more efficient, what'll do me the best, ya know the usual .

KB 2.1L Blowzilla vs Vortech S-trim

PS. Everything is stock on motor cept for mods in signature, 90,500 original miles. Good idea to boost or no? Possible thoughts on forged bottom end. Thanks everyone.

The kenne bell is hands down more efficient, intercooling doesn't give more power it only allows you to run more boost, I run Lucas octane booster in my Cobra...I studied posts and reviews for months before getting my KB, the Vortech is known for crappy customer service and needing rebuilds frequently, the new KB 2.1 is a total package and requires no tuning or fuel upgrades, it runs smooth as silk and makes almost no sound...get the best get a Kenne Bell, you'll love it

I'm actually looking for the classic KB whine, especially after finding some youtube videos. Make me feel like a Terminator Cobra. I assume its a smaller pulley for the increased revs.

Anyone else?

#1 Intercooling allows you to run more timing due to the cooler IATs or you could run more boost to make more power.

#2 octane boosters don't do much if anything and really are a waste of money.

#3 Vortech has good customer service. Have you ever dealt with them? I have and they have been nothing but helpful. And idk where you get your facts about rebuilds but Vortechs are some of the most durable blowers out there. I spun my SC-Trim was past there "safe" impeller rpms and when they upgraded the wheel to the Si-Trim the bearing were fine.

#4 Any time you add boost to a motor you need to make fuel and tuning upgrades.

Look at the warranty between Vortech and KB. Vortech has a 3yr warranty where as KB has a limited 1 year warranty.

I would take a Vortech any day over a KB. They create to high of IATs and you can not intercool them so they are limited. I have goine over this a few times in the past if you search under my name you will see what I have said and this all comes form experence not just internet hearsay.

Good Luck with whatever you choose and let me know if you have any questions.
