superchargers... which one to get?

Dont be confused. Lets make this simple.

Vortech- Moderately priced. Basically the standard in blowers, extreamly reliable.

Paxton- Cheaper blower, known for slightly less reliability in the past.

ATI- High priced. Intercooled supercharger setup. Will make more hp w/ less boost as it cools the intake charge. Very reliable.

Powerdyne- Lower priced. Belt driver blower, silent. Yet belts have been known to break under heavy track use. More so in the past then recetly. Moderate-good reliability.

Kennebell- Roots supercharger. Makes boost very low and quick. Will not lead to as much hp in the future if you go with more mods. Good for automatics and heavy cars. I have heard reliability issues and bad customer support on these.

My opinion. Ive been looking at this stuff for some years now and have yet to hear a single complaint w/ the vortech and many with all the other brands except ATI. Ive only heard 2-3 about ati, and that is because they are hard to install. So I say go vortech and be happy and safe.
