superchargers... which one to get?

Don't bother getting a blower unless you're gonna be using an intercooler or aftercooler. Heat, obviously will rob your engine of power - pulling down the s/c output tremendously. I've been doing alot of research myself....ATI Procharger looks good, so do the Paxton/Vortech.....except once you add the inter/after-coolers to either of these....the price is over $4k. So far, the ATI looks the best. Also, 9 psi on a stocker might be too much, unless you're not worried about killing your motor (6 psi would be best if you're stock and don't want to harm your engine). Good luck.
