One sided, Bell BS. Someone forward this link to Bell and tell him I will personally meet him anywhere, any time at any test lab.

The ford guys were trying to test the kb and whipple superchargers against each other a while back. Whipple was going to let their supercharger be tested, while kenne bell declined. KB has always been full of crap, and Jim Bell will never put his product up against another where he cant control the results. Here are some links of the threads.

My hats off to you Dustin (and Art).

Joe (Left Coast 32) is running a TVS2300 on 20 psi on his TBSS with no issues.

I also went to a 4inch intake and that made a huge difference. The 3inch pulley started to push 20-22 lbs of boost on stock internals with transient belt slippage. I decided I wanted to drive this thing longer so I went back to the 3.75 pulley which now has much better street manners no belt slip but still pushes 15lbs of boost easily.
