Kenne Bell SC Install

I'm looking into putting a supercharger on my 2013 2ss. I did some research on what I want I am going with a Kenne bell 2.8LC. My question is..... Is this something someone who has some mechanical knowledge can install himself?

Yes but if you keep looking around you will find that the KB is probably the worst setup for a new Camaro. I haven't seen a single person happy with them. All the other blowers/turbos are better options IMO.

Much better IMO. Probably the best PD style blower out there.

From my talks with some car guys that do this regularly, whipple is the front running for the new Camaros.

Yeah I was looking at a KB too but found too much negative on it. I ended up going with a Maggie but it was almost a whipple. Think you're gonna be happy with the whipple!

Thanks All. I see Magnuson rates really high with a lot of people on this forum also. Another question, I have a convertible will supercharger fit under the shock brace?

if you are dead set on doing a PD blower whipple should be your first choice, their kits are extremely high quality, very easy to install, and have the potential to make the most power. Now if you need to be a little more budget friendly the TVS works well and is super high quality also, but will max out faster in terms of hp ability. If you have any questions on them give us a call as we install/sell a lot of them. 480-359-5914

They don't talk about it out loud on here cause of all the fanboys but lots of Maggie owners are very disappointed in power output.

And don't forget turbos if you want big power or just a sweet daily driver.
