When I bought my ATI kit, I got it from www.superchargers4less.com . May I ask why you are going to buy the Vortech over the ATI kit.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. When I wrote the post I was undecided. I called tons of people, talked to tons of pros. Bob was a awesome guy by the way! Hes going to sponsor here he said. Anyway, I'm going with a sponsor, Pro Dyno. Hes local to me and his prices match up. Plus he can dyno my car and program it for the same price my main mechanic would do just the install. My car needs programming bad right now!
I decided to go with the ATI Prochager D-1SC with a 7lb pulley. Its a solid unit and dollar for dollar the Vortec couldn't beat it. Plus I liked the idea of oiling it myself rather then the engine oiling it. So ATI it is, and in the next 30 days comes 150 rwhp, and programming (hopefully Ill grab another 10-15 hp)

Ok, well even if I see 100 to the rear wheels thats fine, it will be dyno'd and I'll know then what it will be doing. It needs a tune. I haven't yet tuned it ( and its running rich)since I got the headers and cam.bI didnt want to waste the $400-$500 on a tune when I was going to get something else done. Even the tune is going get me something! With 7 PSI Ill be happy! With my mods that i have now, and a 7 psi supercharger Ill be perfectly happy! Ill let you know exactly what rwhp I get when its done!

Im not of the guys name whos going to install it. I only got to call them today and discuss some details. I couldn't schedule it since Im wanting a 6 rib vs a 8 rib, so I dont have to change the harmonic balancer. So to make a long story short I haven't met them yet. Next week Ill schedule it, when they are able to check into the balancer. I want to get it done in the next 30 days. They by far had the best deal since they program it, and dyno it for the same price I'd just get the labor done.
