Default Radix vs. ATI Procharger*

I just want to know your opinions on both of these superchargers. I am debating on either one of these. If you could list the pro's and con's of both of these it would be greatly appreciated.

Radix has the bottom end torque and ATI has the upper RPM power. It all depends on what you preffer.

You'll feel the Radix kit more during normal driving and while towing. Boost from the ATI starts to become noticeable above 3000 RPMs. The Radix is something that pretty much gives you the best of both worlds. You get good low end power while still seeing respectable peak horsepower gains (130+).

A properly Set up ATI d1sc or P1sc blower will make some good power with a 3000k stall to get the boost flowing
I'm seeing 5-6psi outta the hole with my Ati and my smaller 3.6" pulley
what's going to make you faster horsepower or torque ?
The other questions is what are you going to feed the boost into motor wise ?
the Radix may run out of breath with a larger motor and ported heads where are the ATI most likely won't

The radix is good up to 600+ hp. I have seen a 600 hp truck running in the low 11's with a Radix on it. Big heads and cam. I have also seen a 700+ hp 6.0 in the H2.....I think the radix has more than people think.

Whipple! sorry I'm kind of partial Down low boost is fun. On the other hand, you can make up for turbo lag or centrifugal sc lag with a higher stall converter like GMC SKI said. What does Top Fuel use...Roots (only because twin screw was outlawed)

The Radix system is a bolt on ready to go kit.With the ATI kit you bolt it on and hope it goes.It's not that ATI makes a bad kit,it probably offers more horsepower potential,it just requires a lot of tuning after the installation.When you compare the price of the two kits the Radix is more expensive,but you don't keep spending for tuning the true cost is probably about the same.

What is the price of either kits?? I have experienced the whipple and it was pretty impressive performance wise. Can't say for the other two.
