Well as i would expect the 2.6 has proven to be a MONSTER! we installed the NEW 2.6 on our 2002 Street Lightning today. We fabricated our NEW JLP Forced Air kit for the 2.6!.The install was just simply EASY! You can tell right off the bat alot of thought went into this kit! the test conditions were not that good at all. the shop temps were 88*+.We did the same pulley combo. 1st on the 2.3 a 9.5 lower & 2.7 upper which made 18# of boost. the timing was 19*.. we made 582 rwhp 666.7 rwt!.. we made a total of 8 runs tonight but i won't go thru each run tonight. We then put the 2.6KB on with the same pullies 9.5 lower & 2.7 upper..The Boost soard to 22#!.and the Power increased tremendously! 652.3 rwhp 763.8 rwt!..thats a 70 hp! Gain and just under 100 ft.#'s of Torque!..We'll be doing a few more runs tommorow! we will be putting the 10" Lower on to achieve 25# of boost! we'll be installing our resiviour and be putting ice in it..maybe 700 rwhp! and over 800 rwt! might just happen with NO JUICE!..!..Our initial thoughts on this Blower is just down right Amazing! We @ JLP Would like to publicly Thank Jim @ Kenne Bell for allowing JLP to have a part in testing this MONSTER!..Thanx JL

 

 

Impressive! Is it more quiet than the 2.3?

 

man that is bad. johnny is the cold air kit the same as your current one with a diff. inlet tube? or is it diff. and only made to work with the new kb. the reason i ask is i sold my jlp forced air kit when i thought i was going to sell my truck stupid i know but i need to replace the kit now. i would like to get the 2.6 but dont want to buy 2 diff cold air kits. thanks johnny keep us posted buddy.

 

yes its alot quieter..and yes its a total different air kit...JL

 

thanks JL quess i will keep my open filter until i come into some $$$$ and get the 2.6/cai.

 

Very nice numbers. I might have to sell my 2.3 and get one when they release it.

 

Not to start S%&#, but when is it coming out and how much? Is it a complete kit?

 

not a true comparo but check these numbers out. sept.06 mm&ff installed a whipple on there inhouse lightning the fridge. full jdm built lb/exhaust/bolt-ons/fuel system with sct2400 and open filter. at 24psi,17 degrees timing the truck made 669rwhp and 732rwtq. this was with a 2.75 upper and a 8lb lower.

i know this is 2 diff. trucks,engines,dyno, etc, etc, but it gives a idea about how the new kb 2.6 compares to a whipple on a built truck.

 

Now This is Getting R Done! We installed the 10" lower with the 2.7 upper today the boost jump to 25# up to 4800 rpm's then fell off to 23#. This is due to the 90mm tube we are using right now. we simply out-performed it! . We will be doing some more test with our 100mm Tube here shortly!..I never thought it would be possible with-out Juice! But here it is over 800 RWTRQE!,,ALL BOOST NO JUICE! on a JLP Engine with Stock Stroke and .020 over! Just Blew my mind!..ENJOY!!! JL

 

Very impressiv !
