Two brands come to mind.

Vortec or ATI.

ATI comes with intercooler and the intercooler is mandatory. Self oiled. Because its self contained you might be able to put better lubrication that is suited for a blower.

Vortec doesn't come with intercooler. Both make similar power. Need to drill in oil pan to get oil to it. So with every oil change you are changing the oil on the blower too. Definately have to run Mobil1 then.

I heard that the ATI needs a intercooler otherwise it gets too hot. While the vortec doesn't need one. Keeping in mind that for street applications you want your car to run cool. So the best solution might be a vortec that is intercooled. I really haven't done much research on this at all and perhaps someone on the board can elaborate more. Which ever way you go check out the Anderson b2 cam for your blower/nitrous application these cams are roudy even NA. I got one and this thing put my whole combo together thank god I ditched that e303.
