I think the KB sounds cooler, just louder I guess, maybe even higher-pitched. Although, MM&FF's recent article showing the whipple @ 17#s with 17° total timing made like 603 rwhp. That doesn't suck. Unless I ride in a Whipple car, I would go toward a KB. The KB car I rode in is the fastest car I've ever rode in in my life! The pull never stops, it only pulls harder in each gear.
