Don't forget about the fuel mods if you haven't done them already. 60lb. injectors, BAP, etc. That's why I'm going to put a 2.93 on to start with when I add the ported blower. Hopefully I can avoid the fuel mod necessity and upgrade them over the course of a year instead of all at once. Then after the fuel mods, I will switch to a 2.76.
Do not go KB right away. Yeah I said it. Stay with the Eaton and port it. How many IRS 6 speed non N20 KB cars do you know in the 10s? Now for the cost of the KB, port the eaton, slap a lower on their and go for the 10's. If you can't get there, 60's, bap, N20 will get you there.
Do not go with the Eaton either. Yeah I said that too. By the time you add up all the costs for the n20 and the porting and the new tune, you could have picked up the KB with the supporting mods too (you'll need em anyway).
At the same time, start saving your money for a built shortblock because the stock one won't last that long with either hefty combo. Lots of KB guys are shredding the pistons and we all know of the N20 eaton guys that are lunching motors as well. Either combo can last a long time, but lately it seems that they are both exploding all kinds of neat shit. The other thing you need to look at is the cost of a new clutch and probably breaking all kinds of good stuff in the rear when it hops with either set up. I firmly believe that our halfshafts can withstand 500-600ft lbs of torque on a solid non-hop launch, but the slightest hop with that kind of torque is going to blow up faster than Michael Jackson's Fisher Price Blow up doll.
So in conclusion, go with either one that's cheaper in my opinion. After you port the eaton, you'll want more power and you can either toss on N20 or realize that you wasted 1k of your money.

Mike,
How many times are you going to ask? It seems like this has been going on since last winter. First it was should I KB or Whipple, then it is like should I Whipple or Port and now its like should I KB or Port.
Just fork over the money to me cause I got to do something cause my buddy just went to the dealer to pick out his options for his '06 Z06. He is taking delivery in 6 ~ 8 weeks so I don't have much time. He is already asking about track events later this year cause he wants to embaress me out there.

To port or not to port - that is the question.I just want to remind you that fi street race in Florida & you get caught - they (big brother) IMPOUND YOUR CAR and in some counties they crush it, just like some counties in California. 500 + hp IS ENOUGH!!!! John might have his own comment.....
