I did a little 'research' on blowers and came to the conclusion that the ATI Procharger raines supreme for the money. It will outdo the Paxton and vortec and could be expanded further in the future, especially with aftercooling and if you get the higher boost kit... I think a place called Excessive motorsports sells them at a good price. Maybe if you can find their ad in a magazine someone there can help you pick out something.

Ohh, I still don't have a SC, I figure I could do better NA for now.

The best way to go about something like this is to build up the motor specifically for charging, like forged low compression pistons... stronger parts, ect.
