So I'm gonna start shopping for an upgrade towards the end of the year or early next year and wanted some opinions/insight.

I'm not a drag racer and for now, this is my daily driver and I'm gonna be keeping my IRS. So with that being said, which blower do you guys prefer and why, Kenne Bell or Whipple?

Different Rotor configuration between the 2 blowers.

In a nutshell, A Whipple moves more air per RPM than a KB, which translates to More TQ from the Whipple.
A Whipple will also max out (drop boost) at lower RPM's than a KB, which *can* translate to more high RPM HP from the KB.

If you plan on a 15psi tune only, the 2.3L whipple can't be beat.
If you plan on a 21psi tune, the whipple will drop boost before redline, but a KB of similar size will not.
