Thanks for watching and offering feedback. I appreciate your input.

I haven’t looked this one over since the video. I’ll check it again after winter.

The leak was in the flex connector. I welded it all solid and it seems to work fine.

Tuned for the supercharger with a cat back exhaust in this video. Still retains stock manifolds, engine

Kenne Bell 2.8

It was just a moment in time.

Thanks for your input.

It seems like a new machine would be lined up but I guess we over expect.

I bought the supercharger as a kit from Kenne Bell and installed it on a weekend. It went on fairly easy.

Lol

Totally agree, it’s built for 450 at the flywheel. The engine has EQ IMM prepped cylinder heads with 2.02 intake valves and pocket porting, Icon pistons with 10.25:1 compression, etc. Hopefully the additional information makes light of the flywheel horsepower claim. This engine was built mostly based on the magazine article sledgehammer magnum 360 budget build.

Thank you!

Isn’t it slow?

@@kgsartinehhhh look pretty quick 2 me

Whp 494 with right around 500 wtq if I remember correctly. It hasn’t been dynoed since the cat delete and retune so probably 20 or so more.

Thank you. I’m running a little slow with the new transmission setup. I’m still hoping to get it out and about by June.

We used a long strap to be a safe distance from the tree. The video does appear things are closer than reality.

The tune was a little rich in this video. Those worn tires hooked much better than the 315s I run now. Maybe wider wasn’t better?

Sorta the same thing minus the warranty and price.

Unfortunately, all vehicles seem to be made a bit cheaper every year.

I don't see anything terrible with this truck. I'll probably give it a good undercarriage washing after winter and call it good.

@@kgsartin absolutely. They will be good to go with a good cleaning 👍🏼

@@jimcole2648 Absolutely!

Exhaust mods will make it sound amazing but you won't notice performance improvements. It all depends on what your after. If your looking for sound, the exhaust is easy-remove the mid mufflers and it will not disappoint! If your looking for performance, go with the supercharger. After boost, go with cam, headers, E85 and you will be looking at your next poroblem-traction!

@@kgsartin so I can throw a supercharger and cam in there after taking off the mufflers? And is buying a taser beneficial I see a lot of people with that

@@219jayy I have no experience with the taser. I use HP Tuners for all my mods. You can add the supercharger at anytime. Mine had the rear mufflers deleted when I first added the supercharger but it was so loud under boost, I switched the entire system to stock hellcat.

@@kgsartin ok I’m starting to understand what size supercharger is the best and last question what’s before boost and after boost? Is that before and after the supercharger?

@@219jayy Yep

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks, it was just a one weekend bolt on with an off the shelf tune. I had intended to go with cam and headers but haven’t yet. Many have recommended going e85 as well but it isn’t readily available in my area.

I plan to move the computer under the console and possibly upgrade to MS3 eventually. Thanks for the idea, I could attempt to explain it.

Mine has around 82,000. I’ve supercharged trucks with 160,000 plus miles with no issue. If it were mine, I wouldn’t worry about the miles.

I’d say this part is used in several applications. I ordered it from Mopar but the huge delay (due to the strike), made me research further until I found the Dorman part on Rockauto. They got it to me in a couple days!

@@kgsartin 4wheeler guys convert them to manual select with a PTO type cable. might be a product idea for ya in there somewhere :)

@@DieselRamcharger That could possibly be done electronically as well. It’s annoying to use awd in these cars based on the ecm programming.

@@kgsartin yeah you can probably control the little actuators with a stepper motor controller. probably best to use like an arduino or pi environment, then you can easily code in window activation based off rpm/tps whatever or a simple switch. in my truck i just took it all apart and flipped a sleeve so its all time locked in now. mine was vac operated, so the cummins swap came with a few challenges. :)

@@kgsartin if you ever need some weird part gimme a shout! i run a cnc shop and i just help make parts for people like us. hot rodders with a dream!

WV, I was in AZ last summer. Wow, it was a hot one!

@@kgsartin oh nice we used to race in summit point wv. the terrible part is, last summer wasnt even a hot one! Super humid by our standards though...it was pretty gross.

@@DieselRamcharger It was tough on a fat country boy, lol! I haven’t heard of Summit Point. What part of WV is it in or is it still around?

@@kgsartin summit point is the town name. its up near northern va, actually its damn near in virginia. Shenandoah Valley where the baltimore and ohio rail lines intersect. kind of in between winchester va and hagerstown md

@@DieselRamcharger Pretty country over there but, I’ve never been to that track.

In this video it had stock exhaust with cats and the resonators deleted.

The only time I’ve experienced heat soak was on the dyno and that was my fault since I shut off the engine and water pump between runs. I’ve never noticed heat soak while driving.

I fixed mine by updating the fan settings and using a 180 t

Thanks!

I would have no idea. I haven't been around a magnuson or whipple hemi. I would guess they are about the same.

I had just finished installing the supercharger and just to do a quick sprint before reinstalling the bumper. The air filter, cooling coil, and water pump all mount behind it.

@@kgsartin oh, very intriguing. Good to know! I was thinking to myself "It isn't hard to find a bumper...is it?" But yeah that makes alot of sense with the space available. Does it all fit in well at least? Or shall I say, easily?

It all fits very well. There is some cutting required on the inner fender for the air inlet tube. The filter, coil, and the pump fit as though its a factory location. @@Kiule2

This video was 4th gear direct drive.

If 1st gear hit 120 it wouldn't be able to even let off the clutch at any RPM without stalling, you'd need WAY more power and you'd need a crazy ass clutch and transmission

Stock fuel pump with Kenne Bell boost a pump. If I remember correctly, the injectors are 46’s.

Hello and thanks for joining!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I researched the supercharger options heavily and it came down to Whipple and Kenne Bell. I was quite discouraged with Whipple reusing the under hood air box. I also don’t wanna deal with a messy catch can and I don’t like the Jack shaft on the Whipple. After all the research, none offered what I wanted other than Kenne Bell. My car has had zero problems since adding the supercharger, (other than traction). I would recommend having someone tweak the included Kenne Bell tune as mine was quite rich. Even with the rich tune, it made nearly 500 hp at the wheels with stock manifolds and cats. I’ve only put 15,000 miles on it in the past few years but it has been 100% reliable and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

That's awesome to hear man! and yeah that's the big thing I like about the kennebell is it seems to be the only one with an actual cold air setup. and yeah i am tuned on hp tuners currently so I'll just have to get it retuned once I install the drop ins and blower. Thanks again man! what kinda 1/4 mile times are you getting? And do you have the nag1 ?@@kgsartin

@@taylorbowman5193 Mine is a 6 speed car. Unfortunately, there are no quarter mile tracks in WV. There is supposedly a 1/8 mile track coming back soon, I’ll certainly be there.

looking forward to seeing what she does! @@kgsartin

@@taylorbowman5193 You’ll wish you done it sooner! Scat packs are no problem!

Still going strong at 225k miles.

yea what the heck happened

I removed the electronic actuator and inserted the screwdriver in its place. With my bearings worn out, it was very difficult to get the engagement.@@vansdan.

Very interesting how it works

I wish parts were available for the intermediate shaft assembly. I had to order the entire thing to the tune of almost $600@@Alejandro-kk8ht

How many miles on her? Also your swaybar bushings are on their way out.
