Makes 30 psi on 3.5 pulley

What size motor? Mine only made 27psi with the 3inch pulley on 5.3liter. I'm jealous I wanted to see 30 plus.

Slvr10th what is your pulley combination right now? What power did your car make on 27 psi and C16?

Not well at all. Looks like I blew out the valve cover gaskets with the high boost and loose rings. If anyone is thinking of putting this blower on a stock style long block....FORGET IT!!! You need ported heads, cams, and additional displacement to really make proper use of this beast.
My motor will be coming out shortly for the needed upgrades. Yeah the heads held, the gaskets didn't fail, but it's a ticking time bomb.

 

[dublekick]

Sweet jesus....

 

[MyStIcHrOmE 04]

For the record I am NOT on a stock long block. I'm on stock ish heads... My over gapped rings and PCV valves still in the valve covers might have taken out my valve cover gaskets.

Any update? I noticed that the 3.6 is available on the kb website.

How did I totally Miss this thread. I so want to go to this blower but want to keep the stock look so want to keep my hood. Any chance of that? I am pulleyed for 28.5psi on the 2.8LC and just did not make the power I was hoping for and could not get past like 17 degrees timing. So kinda hoping a bigger blower would fix that and Reduce heat. I have had 3 or 4 Kenne Bells so want to stay with them.

stock hood would require lots of spacers... LOTS

What about aftermarket K-member and drop motor mounts. We talking about an inch or 3+"s.

 

[MyStIcHrOmE 04]

I measured 4.5" from body line to top of blower... I have good clearance with my 5" cowl though. That's definitely not the only consideration... The intake pipe was fun...
