You should know better than to ask "how long until they get here?" It'll be here in 2 weeks!!!! Duh, thats the answer for everything new-including the Predator that was supposed to come out in 2 weeks last January.

so it's 2K$ now. What hapened to the $1,500. Doesn't sound like that much of a deal now. Hell if you have 2K what's another K for the KB.

In my opinion exactly that, another K of which I don't have.

Funny thing is if you have the money Magnum Power says the KB is a better blower hands down.

To all:

We just approved the final nose code design for the Magnum powers. The price is still in the $1800's. We received our three test blowers six months ago, another 5 just recently but they are all sold. We have the final order coming in the the next two to three weeks. I will post as soon as we get them.

Casey,

Casey,

I'm not sure how to take your comment. If you don't like the price then their are other options such as the Works or KB. I think $1800 is well worth the gain you will see.

Justin: I hope this can stay on a Technical side.


How do you think this blower will compare to the ported Eatons that other companies are doing ? I dont think the Ported Blower claim anything more boost, but they have shown results that raise HP between 25-45 RWHP across the board. Is this New Blower going to offer more boost ?


Thanks and feel free to email me your answers if you feel this might turn into a pissing match

BigFan,

I hope this can stay technical too. We go above and beyond porting a case. I really can comment on the ported Eaton Apten is putting out because we haven't installed one on a truck. I can however tell you that we picked up 87 horsepower and 90 ft-pounds torque at 16 pounds of boost. That increase was measured against the stock Eaton. We were also thirty two degrees cooler in air charge temp. If you look at this video you will see that the Magnum Powers blower actually picks up boost at the top end.

Hope this helps,

Justin@JDM

Justin, Which Blower makes more power Magnum Powers or Kenne Bell?
This is not a pissing contest!

Certified Drunk,

The Magnum Power and Kenne Bells will make the same power up to 5000 RPM's. After that the Kenne Bell will flow more air because of it being a 140 cubic inch blower. Between 5,000 and 5,8000 RPM's the Kenne Bell will make more power. So far to date we have made 580 horsepower to the tire with the Magnum Powers. The average power for the Kenne Bell trucks are normally at the 635/640 horsepower mark. That shows about a 60 horspower difference on the top end.

We are not trying and never have compared the Kenne Bells with the Magnum Power blowers. They are two totally different superchargers. You can spin the Magnum Powers up to 23,000 RPMs. Our customers can also use the Phenolic Spacer as well as aftermarket tension systems such as the Metco Kit.
