But with regards to $$$ V's KW's, whats the difference with going PD top mount or centrifugal Vortec.

Ive seen you have tuned two cars in which are posted the the Aussie Car section. The Orange XR8 sedan with the non-intercooled reverse mount vortec, and the latest car added a XR8 ute with your Top-mount KB non-intercooled. Both these cars make around the 300rwkw, which im asuming have the same basic mods and a tune by youself. The KB package comes in around the $10k and the Vortec at $5k. Where is the extra $5k come from with the KB kit when the end result on a stock motor will be limited to around 300rwkw.

If you could post up dyno sheets of the two types of blowers on preferably a 260 Boss motor. What are the differences in power delivery and drivablity between the two.

Cheers Mate,

Love to hear you thoughts
More power & more torque from the Kenne Bell unit in the lower rpm range, leaves open the option to intercool and run up to 6oorwkw as opposed to the little vortech running out of puff at around 4oorwkw.

If you can spare the extra coin go with the KB kit, if i had my time again i'd buy a KB kit.
