Great run JL!!
Definitely shows that KB is not down for the count yet.

p.s. - any chance you'll offer an inlet option that's something other than fiberglass? - Mine cracked from someone (not me) cranking down on the hose clamp when assembling the motor.

How much wait to you take out of the truck when switching to the fiberglass leafs? Also what else do you have taken out of the truck to make it that lite.

Same thing happened with my fiberglass pipe.. I then had a custom 4" metal intake tube made which included the MAF housing. Works like a charm!

Since good running street trucks are my passion, this is truly impressive. Especially the MPH. This is the first pass from any big bore blown truck, Whipple or KB, that really opens my eyes.
I am chasing a 9 second pass out of my MP combo this fall, but will be going with a bigger(or additional) power adder soon enough. Hope KB offers this setup and I look forward to the new "Big Blower Wars".

Jim
