I agree with your rational just not your blower choice. KB 3.6 is a better unit IMO.
I have had 2 kenne bell blowers on my 03 cobra and this will be my 3rd whipple @Bruno. On my 03 I also had a ported blower, HP twin turbos, Hellion single turbo, then 5 dif motors...2 diff cam set ups, then back to a stock motor...then to a built motor, stage 2 cams and 2.3 whipple with a 200 shot....I have a little experience with power adders....more than most. Kenne bell is a nice blower, but there customer service is garbage. I have a 2.2 sitting here for an 03 that they refuse to fix. Anyone wanna explain that shit? The previous owner had another repair shop look at it and since that happened KB will not fix it. Email or call whipple. Fast friendly and much better price. I paid $3900 to the door for the 3.4.
I have a lund remote tune. I'll probably do the same. My cams had a manufacture flaw in them and they are back at bullit to be inspected. I'll get them back in and let lund tune it again or try to get James at RWTD to work some magic for me.
Saying it's a much better price because you had a friend pull a favor is a little silly. Both from retailers are within $500 of eachother, ( KB 3.2 = $6249, KB 3.6 = $6999, Whipple 3.4 = $6400 ) - mind you those are for the LC models and the other goodies KB sends that Whipple doesn't.
I paid 2500 for my whipple. Maybe you missed that part. no biggie.
