ATI seems to be more popular with the gm crowd. why ???? doesnt really matter. and the vortech is really popular with the with the mustang guys.
they will both accomplish the same thing!!!!! i am getting a vortech for my gto, its a very nice kit.
and as the guy above said " If you'll look at the faster SC guys they are usually procharged and you can pretty easily upgrade them"
that is because 95% of the people have ati compared to Vortech.
the ati, has the self containd oil system. cool but you have to change the oil in that to. with the vortech you dont have to. since it runs off the engine oil. and when you get a oil change, it changes the oil that gets used in the super.
so yes you can change the plugs easier in the ati, but you dont have to change the oil in the vortech.
so which ever one you get you will be happy with. they both push intercooled air into your engine.
they just look different.

Vortech has a air to water AFTERCOOLER and has a pump, radiator and tank to always circulate cooled liquid to the aftercooler, so the iat's will never go up , especially in traffic. 90 degree iat temps were datalogged on my car beating on it for an hour straight. You can put ice in the tank to get an even colder intake temp, this is useful when drag racing.
intercoolers depend on ambient temp and have to have air pushing thru them to be cooling properly.
It takes 10 min to remove the ductwork , if you know how to hold a screwdriver and undo some clamps the piping is easily removed to get at the spark plugs..
The reason ATI is more popular is because of price. Both systems work. The ATI guys usually have to upgrade their systems with a belt slip fix from SDCE.
Whichever way you go forced induction will yield you the most bang for the buck.

ATI's number seem to be higher off the bat with the closer to base kits, or so i thought, i think i generally see a P1SC doing ~450 and the Vortech doing ~420? i could be wrong...
