I don't thnk you can necc. make a blanket statement like that. It depends on
what you want to use it for. I agree the electronic end of the KB is more
thought out. I would also say for towing or 4x4 use go with the KB; BUT if
your going down the 1320, lb for lb the vortech will beat it everytime. Ask
yourself how many 5.0s race with a KB-no one. The're all using centrifugal
type blowers. less heat, more efficient. If you think you have a traction
problem now, try hooking up with the KB. It's a great blower, just not what
I would use for racing, if that's the intended application. If I had to do
it all over again, Id go with the Vortech and KB electronics and fuel
enrichment system.
