What exactly do you want to know? Both KB and Whipple are great twin screws. Main difference is the size ranging from 2.2 to 4.0, and of course the price. How about some more info on what you're looking for? Specific hp you're aiming? Budget?

If you really don't know which one then ask your Tuner which one they like more and have had better luck with. Then go with that one.

Mr. Sidecar is the Moderator. Be careful what you ask for.

But anyway. What blower you get is determined by how much power you want, or can afford.

Whipple 2.3 around 600 up to 650 on gas, 750 on E-85
Whipple or KB 2.8 or 2.9 725 gas, 850? on E-85
Really big blower. Whipple or KB 3.6, 4.0, 4.2? Easy 800 to 1000 but not on your block or internals.

All joking aside if you are shooting for 700 then get either the 2.8, 2.9 or the 3.4 I just recieved the 2.9 in the mail today and getting it tuned on Saturday. I will post those results as soon as it's done.
