Kenne Bell LSX blower in 1st Gen

[streetk14]

It sounds like a sweet setup! Kenne Bell does do their homework when it comes to supercharging period. 500 to 550 RWHP sounds about right on a stock lower end. I ride around in KBs test cars all the time and I do have to say that there is nothing like a KBd 2500 suburban w/stock engine and 500RWHP on 8lbs of boost running 13sec 1/4miles on 20s! This suburban has had the supercharger on it since it left the showroom floor, it currently has 60,XXX some-odd miles on it and is running strong!. I honestly think that you will be fine running a stock short block.

That's what I'm hoping also. Their dyno charts show 525 RWHP and 500 RWTQ on a stock 02 Z06 (only mod is cold air box). I think that's enough power for me. I have an LS1, so I will need to get better heads to match their results. I also only have access to 91 octane here, so dropping the compression into the mid to high 9's seems like a good idea. It doesn't seem like I will need much cam, but I would like my car to have some lope to it. My last gen 1 small block had AFR heads and a 242/248, .540/.568 roller cam, and I loved the idle (sounded good anyway). The 42 lb injecters supplied by Kenne Bell are good to 560 RWHP I think, so no need to go overboard on cam/power. Any suggestions on the cam? I'd like to keep the rev limit to 6500 to help save the rotating assembly.
