I am trying to use my 98 stock LS1 for a daily driver and I want to supercharge it but maintain drivability and reliability. I want a system that will last a long time without major problems. do you have any suggestions for what company i should go with.
thanks

 

Vortec is pretty good so is ATI. ATI's have some leaky a$$ seals, allthough they are supposed to have that issue resolved.

 

This question has been asked at least 100 times at this site, and there is no consensus. It is a very subjective topic that could only be answered by independent testing. You would not go wrong with either Vortech or Procharger.

 

i think for a stock car (with no big plans to upgrade) a powerdyne unit would be best just because of the price (used $1000 $2000) JMHO

 

pretty much sums it up

 

got to agree that either Vortech or Procharger are the way to go, although you don't have to punch your oil pan with a Procharger...

 

While i don't know of any 60,000+ mile prochargers running around, they both are solid units.

I bought a used vortech off ebay, if that tells you my opinion of those units. All of the vortech cars i've worked on have had 20-30K miles on the headunits, any still running fine. One friends car has 60K+ , gone through 2 owners, but same vortech blower.

My ATI has been going strong for about 25,000 miles.

 

Vortech, you just don't hear too many complain about problems with that kit.

 

Had my Procharger on for almost two years now. No problems what so ever, besides being noisy Very solid blower. No leaks at all.

 

I know someone that is selling a polished (Bling!) Vortech V-9 9lb kit with aftercooler. It's a complete kit! brand new never installed for $5000. His email is disassembled99@yahoo.com
