What hype?? Do KBs not make good low end torque?

put it this way... at I think cd03... cara and I were racing down in bowling green.  She has some enormous parts list including TW heads, KB2200, and some hoosiers.  I was on nittos with a tiny little GT40P 302.  We ran em... both in the low 13s.  IDK if that motor was just tore up (explains why its been replaced)... but with slicks, aluminum heads, and a monster blower that car should have been considerably faster.

Add to that that KB support after purchase is pretty much non existant.  As said they aren't intercooled in the pushrod application and you just end up cooking the motor basically.  My serious Lightning brethren have tried just about everything on their trucks and the all axed the Bell pretty quickly going to either Vortech or Procharger.  Some are going the Turbo route as so many others have.  The Bell just doesn't belong on anything but the mod motor and even then there are choices.

They are what they are, good for blowing the tires off basically stock cars and putting on smoke shows due to the low rpm torque.  You can't get them to hook for s***.  If you run up on a deal for one it's fine, but just know that customer support is basically non existant and they will bend you over every chance they get.
