It all depends on what you are looking for? How do you plan on driving your car, what other mods do you plan on doing and most important of all how much are you willing to spend. Speed costs, how fast do you want to go?

You're specifying 2 different goals...
which do you want, the most power, or the best driveability...?

If you want the most power, ATI is probably the way to go...if you want driveability/dependability, the magnuson should be hands down. If you want more than 450RWHP, you're answer is ATI. If not, it's Magnuson...

SIMPLE ENOUGH???

How do you come to that conclusion? The most dependable is the one with intercooler hands down unless you live in antartica :lol: and as far as driveability the sound and speed are the only to things you notice.

I can answer the driveability question from actual experience. The ATI P1SC is almost stealth (even with my Stage II heads & 220 Cam). It has "just a little" whine at idle, but in sucky LA traffic it runs smooth as stock. The temp and belt issues are a moot point now (thanks to Andy @ A&A Corvette Specialties). The awesome power is always there as soon as I hit 1/4 throttle.

Above posts are correct...For maximum HP gains, the Pro Charger is probably the best...Fit and finish and PROGRAMMING Thats another story...And yes 1/4 throttle :cheers:

I agree with Mike :yesnod: ATI is the way to go !
My car is as driveable today as it was the day i picked it up bone stock , but get on the throttle and the Beast awakens in a Big way :D
The key to a happy ATI owner is making sure you have an experienced SC tuner do the install. If you can't find a qualified tuner in your area i would reccomend the Magnusun.

I'm going on my 4th month with my ATI set up and the car still gives me goosebumps .

Good Luck !


:cheers:

How many miles is that and what's the longest trip you've taken with it?
