Depends on your goals. For price, reliability, ease of install, and power, it sounds like an ATI kit is the best for you.

The ATI ProCharger D-1SC is what I would recommend. Here is a total kit I put together that uses the ATI ProCharger D-1SC, and has an F-1A upgrade option.

You will see that I include the required harmonic balancer and crank pinning kit, 60lb fuel injectors, Walbro fuel pump and we supply a tune.

Here is a list that I put together that may help you.

As far as everyday driving goes, the supplied fan from ATI ProCharger will sometimes not be enough if you live in a hot climate. Adding this fan makes a difference. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=729

Here is a Trans-Am from El Paso, Texas that we added this fan to.

Ok you obviously didn't get it, the electric supercharger was a joke. Don't **** around with sts, call bob and be done. Buy the D1 kit, for stock cubes this is all you will need for sure unless you want to push the envelope but doesn't sound so to me. Its the most basic, reliable, cost effective, complete kit you can buy on the market. Buy it and have fun!

The ATI does not add much if any under hood temps compared to a turbo setup.

He's comparing a Procharger vs. a STS, not a front mount turbo.
Between the two mentioned the Procharger would add more underhoot heat than an STS would.

Might ad just a little, but for the lack of head aches and a simple bolt-on kit, it is far worth it.

We had a customer a while back get the base STS kit, well then you tack on a IC kit, and then fixing all the "silicone" fittings they send, your well over a ATI setup. The oil system from STS is quite a joke, sending it back into the oil cap is not the correct way to run the return, welding a bung into the pan or timing cover is.

For the amount of money this customer put into his car after modifying the kit to break 600hp, and then break 700hp, he would have been able to break 900hp on a ATI setup.

My suggestion, the STS is defiantly a stock motor kit, any more and you might as well get a front mount turbo setup, as you will have that much into it.

There are a few rear mount cars that are defiantly fast and make big numbers, but they are setup for doing just that, if you have to ask how much they have in it, most people cannot afford it.
