Default What is the best......

I was wondering what the best and loudest blower is for an LS1 F-Body.

You can order blowers in varying amounts of noise they put out. They are all tested at the factory and you can request a "loud" one or a more of a "quiet" one.

For example, an ATI D1SC can be fairly quiet on certain cars, but every now and then you come across a real loud one and you'd think it had an F1 under the hood.

As for the "best blower" for the LS1, well that has been debated to exhaustion to no avail. Just do some research on the forum and find what sounds best for what you are trying to accomplish.

Call up ATI and you should be able to pick up a blower that didnt pass inspections because it was too loud. Its all about how the gears are cut.

What is your target RWHP? Do you have forged internals or plan to buy them? Its pretty hard to say what supercharger is best for your application without that info. Can't go wront with a D1 on a stock bottom end though, 6-9lbs with a intercooler would do great long as you had the fuel system and tuning to support it.
