Default Blower choice regrets??

Looking to see if anyone would've chosen different with there blower, if they could go back. Perhaps some ATI guys that would like the solid piping, automatic tensioner, or better look of the Vortech. Maybe some Vortech guys who envy the higher flow capacity, self-contained oil, or air-to-air intercoolers of the ATI.

I have an ATI and couldn't see using anything else, its a great kit, I know I could of installed it by myself, but didn't want to take any risk...had extra $ lying around anyways...

I'll let you know next week. We just finished installing my Vortech polished kit yesterday. I can't drive it yet because it's not tuned. But we at least started it up and revved it a little. It sounds sssweeeeettt! (sssSSSSssssSSSSsssS)
When we program it next week, it should have no problem putting down over 500 RWHP.
With 4.10 gears and ET Drags, I can't WAIT to stomp the throttle. <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
