Re: Racking my brain - ATI vs Vortech S/C Guys, I ended up ordering the ATI Procharger. I chose the Tuner Kit 8+, with the D-1SC compressor, and some 42# injectors, with upgraded fuel pump. It looks like I'll manage to have it all installed and fully tuned before Christmas, so I'll let everyone know what my first reactions/initial findings are.
Thanks again for all the input. I did find out that for every person that swears by a Vortech, you'll find one equally passionate about the ATI. So it sounds like neither is a bad choice, they just have their pro's and con's like most any other mod decision. I was extra **** about this one simply because of the costs involved. My nitrous kit was very inexpensive (5177), so that was a no brainer by comparison.
I'll let you all know how it goes...

Re: Racking my brain - ATI vs Vortech S/C Yeah... you should feel lucky that you don't have to pay the inflated price we C5 guys have to pay. My choice is ATI but I can't decide between P1SC-1 or D1SC. Trying to figure out what the difference is besides the D1 has a larger impeller and can spin higher RPM. Wondering why ATI makes the P1?

Re: Racking my brain - ATI vs Vortech S/C JAS, I was glad to read your post. My idle does surge, and sometimes it barely idles at all. Sounds like it could be your issue #2. But I do like it, just wish I could get it to idle properly in traffic!
