I found a decent price on a Used Kenne Bell system, Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they decent? I will be putting this on my work truck ( 6.0L ) Also if i do this i am going to eliminate kenne bell electronics and do a tuned pcm. Will doing this when the Kenne bell be a pain in the *** or what? Need Help please. Thanks

 

You beat me to it. I happened to see these systems available last night when I was looking at something, and was gonna post up about it. Wanting any and all feedback on it.

 

The KB is a great unit. Not sure if the KIT is great or not but the main units are awesome!

 

Im in the process of switching my kenne bell from the 5.3 to the 6.0. On the 5.3 it has been great. The tuning is critical as with all the superchargers. Make sure that you get the 42 lb injectors and a custom tune by nelson or pcmforless. This would definitely be Bad *** if its done right.

 

Well I am also looking at buying a Kenne Bell that is used. From what I have read in post the KB is a great blower, but of course its not intercooled. Fortunatly KB is coming out with a intercooled version. I called them and of course got the "service" that they have been noted for. When I called the girl that answered the phone pretty much knew nothing about what she was selling and knew nothing about the soon to be released intercooled version. She asked were I saw this info from and I said straight from their web site. She directed me to the "Techs" Its still under construction but he did say its going to be a air to water unit. That should be some major competition agianst the Radix.

 

Once I bolt the Kenne Bell onto the 6.0, I will start looking into a Custom Intercooler. I hopfully can run 6-7 lbs without the intercooler.

 

Does the Kenne Bell have an external bypass valve, or is it internal like the Radix?

 

Good question, I dont think so though. I could be wrong, the kit comes with a Boost a spark, and fuel pump. But if I get the kit im gonna get a Nelson tune and some 42ib injectiors and still utilize the Boost a pump.

 

The kit has an external bypass valve that allows you to put the supercharger in valet mode for servicing etc. The boost a pump is sold separately. 42lb injectors should also come with the kit.

Good Luck!

 

So does that mean it would be possible to add an external BOV like with a centrifugal SC? No big deal if you can't, just wondering cause I know it wouldn't be at all possible with something like the Radix.
