Im getting ready to deploy and when i get back i wanna purchase a blower for my 01gt. So far i already got a jlt cai and accufab 70mmtb and plenum. My question is what would be a better purchase using a centri blower with my accufabe tb and plenum or a kb with my accufab 70mm tb and jlt cai? I dont wanna put anything that i have already to waste but i also wanna get my money worth in the upgrade. Also whats an easier install? looks like the kb would be but im not certain.

Both can be done by a do it yourselfer. If you have the time and patience. If you go with the KB i would recommend selling your plenum combo and buy a 75mm tb. The kb doesnt use the plenum. thats what i did.
What do you want top end or bottom end? Drag racer, or a street monster?

i want a street monster pretty much and an occasional track day. My friend is about to get a stock 03/04 cobra and i wanna keep up with him or even beat him. Leaning towards a procharger novi and i dont believe i can use my jlt on that but i can still use my plenum and tb. Dont wanna lose that since i paid 120 for both such a steal!

^^^stock output is around 390 hp(crank) or 330 rwhp
They are seriously underrated and have been known to put out 360-390 rwhp. Add a pulley change and you have some more to add to that number.
I am not 100% sure so anyone correct me if my numbers seem a little off...but that is from what I can remember reading about the stock numbers in other posts.

my buddy put down 425rwhp with a jlt intake, midpipe, and catback. They are WAY underrated.
And if you do a search there's definately alot of information on this subject. A KB with 9psi intercooled should get you a pretty peppy street car

If you want the street monster then get the KB. And sell your combo for more than you paid, a KB'd GT at 9 psi well run with a bolt-on cobra easy, if he doesnt get his blower ported you'll prolly run him down.
That is the NON- intercooled for $3999.00 Inter cooled is $4999.99. Unless you do the labor yourself, you would then have to remove the S/C to install the I/C.
Don't forget about this option

Are you sure your just not racing cars you can beat from a dig and not a roll, cuz i think its the other way around, positive displacement always has power there (dig) while centrifugal has some lag unless at high rpms already (roll race), correct me if im wrong :dunno
how many miles on your car and how much will you drive it, kb will put more wear on your car so if you have high miles might want to consider the centi.

well on the car itself i have around 85,000 the motor i have about 56,000. Also i think with the kb unless i have some good suspension work i would just spin from a dig cuz of the amount of tq at the wheels. Probably gonna get a centri. I like the KB whine but i love the sound of a centri at idle Mmmmm!

You can't lose here...lol. They both have advantages and disadvantages. KB for street fun...centri for all out power at max rpm, for the track!
