I would either go with the Vortech or ATI kit for the LT1. Both manufacturers make a good product. If you upgrade from the P600B to the P-1SC you won't have to tap into the oil pan with the ATI. That is required for the Vortech. The ATI makes 8# of boost while the Vortech makes 6-7#. There is also an optional Aftercooler available for the Vortech. We carry both brands and are offering very deep discounts.

I have experience with both systems on LT1's and IMO the Vortech system w/aftercooler is much nicer/higher quality.

The ATI head units are nice, but there is 'miles' of intercooler plumbing and rubber tubing that just seems cheap and not well thought out.
