The different superchargers are for different people, combos, budgets, and power levels. All and all, I say a Radix is probably the best blower for 90% of people. The ATI is a great blower but it lacks low end power. However, a ATI D-1SC can support 925 hp. Read my sig, when I took the Procharger off I was sitting at 14-16lbs of boost. This was on pump gas and a stock motor, heads have never been off. It depends on what you want. If you are going to keep the vehicle fairly mild (450ish rwhp), I say bolt on a Radix and be happy.

Hey Stupidfast, just wondering why you took the set-up off your truck? And I agree, for all around performance and drivability, the RADIX is the way to go. I can't wait to get my tax refund!

I want to try something different. I know I want a juice setup but, I am thinking of how to do it. But I LOVED the procharger, every whining, gas sucking, belt slipping, tire spinning mile of it.

I would agree with stupidfast on this one. The Radix is definately a complete kit that comes with everything you need which includes injectors, fuel pump, air to water intercooler, and tuning. The Procharger does not come with any of that, but it can make some serious power. Just take a look at Stupidfast's sig.
