I also question the integrity of their fuel system modes (Boost A Pump) because a fuel pump is designed to run on 12 V, NOT 17. Plus the KB is NOT intercooled.

MYTH: "THAT EXTRA VOLTAGE WILL HURT YOUR PUMP"
FACT: The installation of the KB BAP will actually increase pump life by reducing its workload. BTW: the BAP only increases the voltage when required under boost conditions. It is a passive system otherwise.
FACT: KB consulted the major suppliers of fuel pumps and they concurred that operating their pumps at the elevated voltages used with the BAP has little if any effect on pump life EVEN IF THE BAP IS OPERATED FULL TIME (instead of passively). Therefore, the BAP may be activated full time if desired. The regulator merely returns the unused fuel to the tank via the return line much the same as any larger pump would do (or the pcm would control overall pulsewidth to the injectors if a returnless system).
FACT: The BAP is NOT limited to the KB kits. They can be used in conjunction with ANY combination, supercharged, turbocharged, nitrous, or N/A.
Go Procharger or Allen. The two BEST systems on the market, and YES I have owned both and now the turbocharger on the same platform. I know what works for these trucks based on experience.
Get a good intercooled kit that make plenty of power out of the box. Oh, and the Allen/Magnacharger ONLY makes more power that a Procharger in the lowest 500-750 RPM. Then they drop off on the top end (About the time you shift), where the Procharger is PULLING HARD through 5600-6000 RPM. NO LAG, just time to hook and leave without smoking the meats...
Don't make me school you further, boy.

Seems like some really good information Serpentor, and I'll have to agree with Eric too, it just seems as though crash just dont like some SC's without any real backing on it. Seems as though alot of people HAVE had good results with KB.
Crash, your tall tale on winning against a truck with a SC and all you had for add-ons is a K&N filer,is just that, a tall tale. Obviously there was something wrong, so of course it would be worth recording, maybe you were able to get someone to believe that the KB superchargers are that worthless, with your great "proof"?
