This kinda breaks down in to opinions, the two main kits are Vortech and ATI (Pro Charger), they both make good kits. I dont have either, so i cant really give a fair opionion but Vortech and ATI are the two only ones worth mentioing.

Yup...both are proven and the decision for me would be intercooler / aftercooler placement. I don't particularly care for Vortech's aftercooler setup but of course you could just buy the head unit, mount, etc and do a custom FMIC or A2W setup.

Procharger makes phenomenal products, and has a great reputation, and the same can be said about Vortech. It really comes down to aftercooler/intercooler preference, and location.

i just noticed that i deleted half of my last post before i actually posted it. oops... i was trying to say that my friend had a pro charger and the belt drive system inside the blower broke. has anyone else heard of this happening? i know the belt is for quiet opperation but i think gears would be stronger/ last longer than a belt.
