    2.3 whipple, 2.6hKB or Vortech??

    This question is more for the ones that have these blowers.. like burntire..
    the questions is are these pretty much the same? goal is 550-600hp...

    is the 2.6KB a bit better than the whipple 2.3?

    overall the life of either blower is about the same right? I have heard of people already having to "rebuild" their whipples..but who knows what abuse they put them though or if they really need it.. i say that cause they got them rebuilt at steiggy.. I had my 7K mile Eaton ported their and they called me up saying that the front snout needed a rebuild..I thought that is odd for a <7k mile blower.. anyway.looking to go bigger just looking been there done that opinions..

    They will all work. The whipple is quiet. The KB will scream. Now sure about the twin screw vortech. 2.3 is fine for for the HP you want. I am only spinning mine with the 19 PSI pulley setup so I still have room for more boost.

    my 2.3 works great, havent really did any research on the 2.6's but i think you would be happy with a 2.3

    I think either blower would be fine/reliable. I'm running 19lb on 93 making around 600 w/17* timing.
