Default Vortech or ATI Procharger?

I'm looking at getting one of these systems from A&A or ECS. Which one do you think I should get and why? which one would make more power at 7psi? see mods below

I would get the Procharger D1SC. Why? Easy horsepower and a 1 year warranty.

Do not know much about the dark side. However on the P1SC you can extend your warranty to 3 years for about $50.00. You can bet your bottom dollar that I got it.

Vortech has a better bling factor, but ATI out performs it from what I've read. And with an ATI you don't have to tap into the engine's oil system. (+ & -) Get an 8 rib belt either way & save yourself some headaches.....

Thumbs up

I have the A&A DS1C kit on my little ole 346 and I really like the results and so far trouble free service I have gotten from it and we really exceeded my rwhp goals and made 742/655 with a safe tune of 16 degrees and ECS alky injection for added protection. I would call Andy at A&A and see if he has any of those older kits around or his newer Vortech kits that he is now making, they come with everything you need to change the manners of your ride I know mine is now in the Sick HP department on the street

Vortech all the way! Check out Vortech's website look around inside and you'll find a scientific comparison for the ATI vs. Vortech
http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/news/h2h.html .

Very enlightening....it was done by Vortech so I'm sure it has some bias. Discern the test data for yourself. it'll change your mind about the two.
