Emailed Kenne Bell to see if they are developing a kit for us, this is what I got back: Snehal, We have no plans to make anything other than our new kit for the 6.1L HEMI Challenger. We will engineer it specifically for the Challenger only and won't guarantee it will work with any other vehicle with the same motor. Its very possible that other kits may follow it for different applications but we can not guarantee that at this time. TJ Sico Kenne Bell Technical Support
I got the same exact email back for the Charger....but i think it would be pretty easy to get them to work for us no?
I was wondering if we would have clearance issues with the hood. Now that Udluuz car is making over 800rwhp with dynosteve's tuning, I wanna wait and see what the best option is.
Exactly!!!!...and every Challenger I've seen so far are owned by collectors who truely wouldn't alter or race the vehicle...................oh well................
i was thinking the same thing about the hood....if its more than like an inch higher than the intake manifold its gonna be a problem....what i would LOVE to do is find someone who could just take my hood now....and modify it with a slight 1.5" cowl or something....that would be awesome
Everyone is jumping on the Challenger Bandwagon....I don't know why they don't realize the same engines and underpinning have been around for 4 years now! KB FTL!
I beleive Stillen might be doing a cowl induction hood for us. But if you want custom, TommyZ will do it for you, but might be a lil expensive.
If there is enough demand..commited dommand, we could get one of thevendors we deal with to produce them.
that would be sweet....i would literally want the exact SRT hood we have now...just with a 1.5" cowel on it...then i would be :happy:
kenne bell is a regular customer at my job....i asked him wat was up like 4 months ago and he said they where working on something.....should i ask again???
The Jeep gets the shaft again. The difference between the WK & the LX under hood: shock/strut tower brace, tuning, general clearance/battery/etc, & ???
being that its a Twin Screw S/C would there be any huge difference other than routing of the tubing for the intake? Thats kinda why i think that once they get the challenger one set up it might take a little fabbing but you could get it to work with any 6.1 or would i be off on that one?
Hell ya, ask him again. Oh ya.....where do you work to bump into people like that? Must be a pretty sweet job.
Yeah, I'm wondering if the shock tower brace would be in the way. There is always a way to make a new custom brace to go around the s/c. IMO.
ah crap i forgot the jeeps had those :hmm:....I guess it will really depend on how much of a height difference there is between the height of the normal intake and the height of the SC. How much room is there between the intake and the STB in the jeeps normally?
I went thru this with the Mr.Norm truck that was supposed to have the Kenne Belle setup but could never get tuned and believe he backed out do to tuning as he did not want his name attached to something that would not run right so I dont blame him from shying away from the Hemi. I believe maybe he is getting some help from DC on tuning the Challenger???
I've never measured, but maybe ~2". I think RDP's s/c for the Jeep isn't twin screw either. Here's a pic from their site.
