Default 9.6 to 1 compression?

I have been thinking about going supercharger. so I built the car around that. what would be the best supercharger for getting me to 800rwhp@15psi. right now I have a 408 iron setup with a 238/242@115 cam in it. and we should be right around 500rwhp. so now I have seen and I like the procharger units a lot. but also I have started to read up on the Rotex units from W2W. what do you guys think. and maybe even do 2 of the rotex units. hmmm. let me know what you guys think
thanks
Wesley

The ATI ProChargers are a proven unit. The F1 would make you the power you are looking for. Give me a call at 260 244-4808 for a great price. Bob

I know W2W loves thier SC units but i never hear of anyone useing them. They used them on a sleeper they made adn it made SICK power so no doubt they work well.
Most people use the Procharger. Not sure why but that seems to be the norm.
Bob there at EPP is a great guy to get them from. GL with ur build man

You may want to switch cams to something with a smaller duration for more area under the curve unless you are just a drag racer.

Not only that, but I would look into different heads or pistons cause unless your running dished pistons for FI your gonna blow some **** up from too high of compression.

as for the cam, I may be wrong on the numbers. it is comps blower cam. and the heads are afr225's, and the pistons are JE's boost pistons.

I'm using the procharger D1SC and had great results! 600rwhp 497rwtq on a stockblock LS1 with heads and cam! The 600rwhp was at 6psi I could have made more ,but the stock bottom end would fall apart!
