I dont buy it. I think they are about equal all things considered. you can go to vortechs site and see the same bashing of ATI. It looks to me like the main thing ATI was stating is that they can make more power with an intercooler. Thats a given. It's kind of like the old Bud Light/Miller Beer commercials.

Yep, they are constantly going back and forth with each other.
They shouldn't even post test like that comparing an intercooled system to a non intercooled setup.....sheeesh. Makes me feel like they think consumers are stupid.
Both have decent products out there but, maybe they'd be better off focusing on improving their own product instead of trying to discredit the other.

The only thing that bothers me is ATI's unwillingness to post compressor maps for their products. Vortech supplys them - why not ATI?
By the way, that posting on ATI is old news. It's been there for at least a year and a half.
