Default Vortech or Procharger, who's best

Vortech or Procharger or someone else, who makes the best supercharger for a C4

Can't go wrong with either one. Both are high quality unit. I opted the ATI because they come with standard intercooler.

everyone's hot for the procharger intercooler but at less than 10lb boost it usefulness is questionable...............in are area .......summers over 100 degree's your going to have to deal with very hot engine temps.... the intercooler seats in front of the radiator which both blocks and heats the air coming to the radiator............I have a procharger with intercooler and 8lb boost and am still working with the problem.

Vortech superchargers are very top notch. If you get a S or T trim Vortech you will not be disappointed.

I support a Vortech supercharger over Procharger. Just pick up an ATI Intercooler and adapt it to the Vortech for the best of both worlds.

Everything I've read indicates that Vortech is better in quality, support and reliability, but I'm sure it's a close race.
