For a small comparision.....I was running 12 lbs Eaton - with no chip and ran a 12.96 in cool weather (about 50-60 degree weather)
But the last few times at the track in the heat (about 82 degrees) I was running 13.3 (12 lbs Eaton - no chip)

Then I added a 75 shot of ZEX on and ran 12.75 @ 107 ( 12 lbs Eaton -no chip). 80 -85 degree temp.

Removed the Zex and installed Kenne Bell @ 16 lbs with no chip (about 80 - 85 degrees) and ran 12.82 @ 107.

Now reflashed with Kenne Bell running 16 lbs with the temp about 92 degrees with only a 45 minute cool down I ran 12.49 @ 110.64

I cant wait for that cool Fall weather to get here....I should be running strong then!! (as long as my rods stay in the block!!)

I will be getting on the Dyno in a few weeks and will let you know the results!!

 

I am MORE than envious of all the KB users out there now

O well... maybe when we hit the lottery

 

Nice times.

Does the $3000 for Kenne Bell kit come with everything you need for the install so the only other thing I would need is a chip/reflash?

Thx

 

Yep, pick your pulley (or buy a couple of pulleys and the wrench) and it can be bolted right on. You dont need a chip but you will leave alot of performance on the table like I did for about 3 weeks.

 

Six Spd Z28,

You are blazing a trail of mods that I'm about to commit to. What pulley combination gave you 16 pounds?

 

awesome I can't wait to get my reflash

 

Eric do ya have a built block?

PEacE...........
Jim

 

If he was built, i don't think he would be saying this.

 

HAHA good point spanky.... I should hope not. Kinda defeats the purpose of a built block.

Vinny

 

Nice results

Hey; you need to bring that truck down to Pensacola, and show us what some 1/8th mile passes look like KB'ed

BTW: What was your 1/8th on those runs?

 

3.5" upper and 6# lower = 13.5#
3.25" upper and 6# lower = 15.5#
3" upper and 6# lower = 18#
2.75" upper and 6# lower = 20.5#
2.5" upper and 6# lower = 22.5#
2.5" upper and 8# lower = 24.5#
2.5" upper and 10# lower = 27#
2.5" upper and a 12# lower = 29.5#

6# lower is a 9 inch
8# lower is a 9.5 inch
10# lower is a 10 inch
12# lower is a 10.5 inch

 

Thanks for the chart

Gary Sloan
I am running the 3.25 upper and the 9" lower at the track.
Then I swap out to the 3.5 upper (14lbs) and head back home!

 

I was coming to Pensacola today and staying the weekend, but my plans got changed.

1/8 mile was 8.03 @ 87 w/ 1.83 60'

 

you da man...
