I'm sure they are good but they leave the tuning up to the user.I'm sure that's why there are so many problems.I bought the intercooled Magnacharger because they offer a complete package including tuning plus a air to water intercooler which is more effective in hot weather.

Whitt is right. They are great, but you need LS1Edit, autotap, and larger injectors to do it right. You actually need to have the software for almost any sc, but with the Procharger, you will run lean at higher rpm's, with the stock fuel setup. I just installed larger injectors in mine, and I am trying to get it tuned myself. It is tricky. It is a quality supercharger though, if you aren't intimidated tuning it.

I love my Procharger but, I have a few problems.
1. Lack of midrange power, I shift and it lays over for a second. Right before something kicks it in the *** and it takes off again.
2. It hates heat. 50 deg. ambient and I have no traction at 60. 85 deg. ambient and it will barely spin a tire at 45.
3. ATI customer service sucks!!!!!!!
If ATI would ever answer the f@cking phone I will order a 10 or 12# pulley. I believe this will mask most of these problems.
Over all I love it but it has not been hot yet.
