Now that ATI has the belt problem worked out I would recommend them simply because of the much larger head unit (1450 {D1SC} cfm vs 800). Especially since you have heads,cam etc., which help the engines overall flow but the blower must be able to keep up with it. If you did prefer Vortech there are shops that would sell a kit with a larger head unit (S,T,YSi), SpeedInc. & RMCR come to mind.

Procharger D1SC
I am runing the D1 @ 9psi on a stock block and putting down 540rwhp 534tq. It is a great unit! The D1 will let you grow even more, with your block you will have a save and strong setup with nothing to worry about.
Few things I like about Procharger is that it dose not clutter up your bay, air to air coolers vs water, self contained oil system-cooler and if the blower would ever have problems you would have less of a chance for anything to enter the engine, as to the vortech ties in to engine's (hot) oil supply for its lubercation.
Just make sure you go with the 8 rib drive setup and a pinned crank pulley and you will be set.

Vortech runs their lubrication thru the oil filter, you want that. If metal fragments break in a self contained unit, guess what it takes out the unit.
The aftercooler cools the charge so much you can touch it with your hand and it will be cool, it circulates the water to a radiator which then circulates back up to the airflow ensuring cool air ALL the time. You can put ice in or add water wetter to enhance .
Just do a search, the ATI makes a power but they have had a history of problems and you will more than likely have to spend the money upgrading your brand new kit to get it right.
Use the search feature, hundreds of threads on this comparison
