My Kenne Bell 2.8LC blower
Well I picked my car up today after having the blower installed at ST Motorsports in San Bernardino CA
The install went smooth with no problems and my car now runs like a raped ape
It just pulls and keeps pulling like a freight train.Power everywhere in any gear
but still has good idle and smooth low speed manners.They did a nice safe tune for 91 pump gas and made 556rwhp
this is with the 8# pulley and a real conservative tune.It actually made 575 with a more aggressive tune but they wanted to keep things on the safe side.
I can tell you this is a really well put togeather kit and the blower and all accessories are top notch.

Hell yeah, man, that's awesome. Are you sure that you're running one of KB's liquid-cooled compressors, though? If the attached picture is of your system, it is devoid of the coolant lines running in-and-out of the compressor itself. At 8 psi, liquid cooling is decidedly unneeded and could actually prove detrimental, in talking with the Camaro guys.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Awesome power too man.

I have to agree something is amiss in this setup. All of the current liquid cooled KB blowers (that I can find on their and vendors websites) have two coolant nipples on the front of the blower, just to the left of the KENNE BELL logo. Is this an older model?

Notice how the thread title says 2.8LC? Yeah, that LC stands for Liquid Cooled. Looking at the Kenne Bell price list, it appears there is a 2.8, 2.8LC (tuner kit only) and 2.8HLC kit available. All of the LC superchargers (again, that I can find) have the two nipples on the front, to the left of the Kenne Bell logo.
Hence my original question: Is this an older model? It's possible these ST Motorsports guys used an older kit and fitted it to the '11 5.0.
If not, perhaps that new resovoir is stricting for the intercooler, if that's possible with this setup?

All I did was make a simple observation and ask a simple question. I realize non-liquid-cooled Kenne Bell compressors exist, thus the reason for my post.
