[QUOTE="99riocobra, post: 10342231, member: 36825"] Well the main reason people choose a 2.6 or 2.8 over a 2.2 is the 2.2 is no longer made, so you can’t buy it new. Finding a good used one is harder to do. The 2.2 is definitely a stout blower that a lot of people love, it really shines right in the range for pump gas(16-18psi). Then there’s the whine, the 2.2 KB almost can’t be matched in blower whine. The 2.6/2.8 definitely has more potential and will make more power per pound of boost above 19psi though. If you have no plans of running race fuel/torco/e85 where you’ll be running more than 17-18psi then I’d probably stick with the 2.3. It’s tried and true to get you around 600rwhp on pump at that boost level, and being smaller it weighs less than some of the bigger blowers. You can also stick with the stock throttle body, so it will end up cheaper for sure. If you have even the slightest thought that it’s a possibility for more down the road then I’d just jump on the 2.9. [/QUOTE]
