i think they all have their own good attributes. i couldnte tell you which... i think it was like powerdyne that recently came out w/ a ball bearing turbo that lasts twice as long as regular ones.. but i could be wrong. call the diff. companies, see what they claim, and look around for 'real world' applications

 

Stay away from Paxton. I had bad luck with it. They also don't produce as much power as ATI or Vortec.

Do some research and find out what you like best. I would shy away from paxton though. i have only heard of a handful of people who have had any luck with them and one of them is switching to a procharger (Willie).
i like both brands...but the reason i went procharger instead of vortech was because they offered twice as much boost and an intercooler. Also, never heard of a stock TPI car put into the 12s with a vortech. Prochargers PUT TPI'S IN THE 12S WITHOUT A PROBLEM

 

Thanx for the help!

Procharger!

But yesterday I talked to a guy who had a vortech on his vette, previoshe had a ATI. According to him the vortech gave more boost under a longer rpm and the ati was more like a turbo kick......

vettes are a completely different car with better heads and better suspension. also...any centrifigal's boost runs on rpms. my ati is 12psi at 5500. i see 10psi at 5000 so i would have seen 12psi at 5500. also, if i reved it higher i would have seen more boost. the reason ati feels like a turbo because it has a higher step up ratio and hits sooner, that is why ati's on LT1's with even a little bad tune blow up so easy.

 

add one more to your paxton good luck file had mone for 10000 mi and no problems and the car will run 12.7 quarter mile times.don't know if i got the only good one they made or what.will tell you though if i was to do this over i'd buy the vortech
later pete

 

I did a lot of research on this topic...i'm doing a buildup next winter...a blown 355...i was impressed by ATI's numbers and performance....plus they have a great warranty.....i think i'm going with the P-1SC blower @12#'s with a 3 core intercooler....with a nice intake and a blower cam that could put me in the high 11's
