Default Kenne Bell Superchargers

Hey guys, new to the forum...curious to know what everyone thinks of the Kenne Bell Superchargers? I was considering getting the 5.3L intercooled one for my 2002 GMC YUKON XL.... I was wondering what Kenne Bell's Reputation is and what everyone thinks of their product?

All I know is the Ford guys love them. All I have really heard them being on are Mustangs and Lightnings. I know they make them for Chevrolets, just don't hear much about them......

Did you order one with the intercooler? They told me they were not out yet? Or did you get the non-intercooled one?

I had a race shop order one with the intercooler for me; he said he wont even be able to get it until late october or nevember so thats about right...so all in all their chargers are recommended and their quality is great?

we put one on a 97 f150 at my shop and it woke the truck up. the difference was like night and day. it would light the tires up any time you wanted. i know its kinda like compairing oranges to apples but i think they are nice esp. when they start with the intercoolers they should make a ton of power.

I've got one on my 99 5.3 and it is awesome. Only knock on it is that it struggles when the thermometer is above 90* or so. I've been periodically calling them about that intercooler, they've said "2 more months" since May. And I read a post on another forum where a guy was talking about the Intercooler Coming Soon mentioned on the KB site -- and that post was dated June 2004. LOL.
