I don't think KB has all the problems worked out of their blowers yet.
They still seem to be having a problem blowing oil, both 2.2 and 2.4.

As far as performance goes, they are all pretty well matched, but the 2.4 KB is kinda overkill.

I would stick with the Whipple for now.

Well, I admit I was a KB leghumper, but I have to say to go woth the Whipple. Slighty better numbers than the 2.2L at the same boost, pretty close numbers all the 2.4L numbers Ive seen. (Since the only person that seems to be making the big numbers at low boost is Hammer ) and the Whipple doesnt spray oil everywhere.

I agree with Dan, KB still hasn't worked out all the oil spray problems. You might get a good one, you might not. I've been happy with my Whipple (after the initial problem I had). Very similar performance between both blowers, it's really just a matter of personal preference. I personally wouldn't get the KB until I knew they fixed the oil problem. Maybe SVTDubs will chime in on his 2.4 KB. He's the only person I personally know that owns one and I know at one point he had oil spray issues.

I also think the Customer Service for both companies leaves alot to be desired (unless you're one of their "high profile" customers). My Whipple Customer Service experience WAS NOT satisfactory as was my experience with KB back when I was getting parts from them for my GN. More recently though, I did get good service (and a good product) from KB when I purchased my BAP.

I would look on ModFords for some additional Whipple/KB info/drama before making your decision.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Whipple wasn't out, and I got my KB cheap. I would be running the Whipple..

There is not much difference between the 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4.. Whipple seems to have less problems..
