14lbs on a Bone stock 5.3L!?!?! You crazy!!!

 

I highly doubt you will ever see bye bye magna charger and hello Kenne Bell in the same sentence again. The new TVS superchargers are going to be hands down some of the best superchargers on the market. EATON has done their homework on these blowers boys.

To be fair in this thread will be difficult for most, but Kenne Bell's customer service and lack of follow through after the kit is sold leaves a bit to be desired. If you are looking for the big bad billet blower, this is your drug.....just be prepared to sit on an island alone with it if you have issues down the road.

Dummy made the power and pushed the boost....there will not be much in the SUPERCHARGER line that can hang with the TVS.

 

WOW! If KB actually did some market research and cared about what their customers and potential customers were saying they may have something great going, until then keep dreaming that your a billionaire and are also banging a troop of super models every night.
Someone should send KB a link to this thread....

 

I agree with everything being said, but the only thing that bothers me is the price on these things. The 122H price was only close to the KB everyday price(the 2.6, the 2.4 is cheaper) when you had a big sale. And that was before another "price increase" a little while back. I've never cared too much for a turbo because of it's lag, but I'm pretty interested to see what you come up with, again because the 122h, and the TVS higher price tags. I do believe the TVS will live up to everything they say it will, I just don't want to pay for it

A guy like me will tollerate a little frustration to save about a grand and buy a KB especially after watching that video, that was just sick. I used to laugh at the guys that threw in a cam an went with a 150 shot. Now I know why, they've got less that 25% invested in their whole setup compared to the price of the blower and they're just about as fast.

 

that will make them think

 

I will admit that it can be hard to get through to kenne bell, but every time someone answers they are more than helpful, and they always take care of me no questions asked. I will venture to say that magnacharger is larger company and can afford to have more people on hand to answer the phone. Guess you have to give and take a little, more power lower price, or good power and someone to talk to.

 

I can't recall speaking to the owner when I ever called ANY of the other manufacturers of ANY other speed part. Period. Today we got to talk to Jim Bell.
Yes... THE "Bell" in Kenne Bell. I'm thinking it's pretty hard to beat that for tech support. Yes... we had to try a couple of times because the tech line was busy... but that's because they are helping customers. This is hardly what I would consider alone on an island.

The funny thing is the issue I needed tech support for was the same issue the Magnacharger had.... a slight belt misalignment. Kenne Bell is shipping me a special spacer to correct it for FREE. Again... a far cry from being alone on an island.

I think you're gonna start seeing a lot more KB kits on the GM trucks

 

sounds like some good news

what are you doing for the air intake, using the dryer hose lookin thing that is on the truck on their website

 

You're joking, right? Or you must have some magic fingers....I've tried calling literally dozens of times over the last 3+ years and never once did I get anything but a busy signal. A company that can't afford (or doesn't bother) to have more than one phone line frankly just scares me.

 

I find it hard to get through also but with a little patience I have always gotten through.
