Any Kenne Bell Users?

Is anyone here running a Kenne Bell supercharger? I need some input on power ratios and their heat outputs. I am thinking of getting rid of the Eaton and putting a Kenne Bell in its place - but want some real user input before I get into this....


TIA - :thumbsup:

We had one of Kenne Bell superchargers about two years ago on a Mustang. No problems with it, just out grew it, wanted more power. But as far as the Kenne Bell -v- the Eaton, depending on the model, Kenne Bell will produce more power.

We are looking at replacing my Eaton and going with a Kene Bell on my 03 Cobra. Expected gains are up to 200+ horse power!!!

That is the reason I want to change out. An Eaton supposedly creates air that is up to 200 degrees hotter than a Bell. Both running the same amount of boost, the Bell will outperform the Eaton by a long shot...

I am going to get some info from users, because with the $$$ it is going to take to redo this setup, I am not sure if I am going to do it or not...

Thanks Cobra03...
