Default STS or ProCharger?

Should I go with the STS or ProCharger, They cost about the same, STS i think will give me a 40% increase in my 5.3, But the ProCharger will give me 60% (about 400 RWHP). I know that some of you have the STS but I don't hear much about ProCharger, Is there a reason? I would love the sound of a turbo but the supercharger seems to be better in this application with the intercooler. Can someone give me thier stock HP #'s and after turbo or supercharger HP info, please just the mod not NOS or some other major mod in there too. I want a daily commuter and the power for a fun weekender too.

The Radix is intercooled, and is not huge at all!



Pretty Sexy IMO!

id go procharger theyve been around longer and looks whats on the fastest ls1 in the world procharger. radix is a good kit for over all performance, procharger is the way to go for racing aplications. Both blowers have intercoolers the only diffrence is prochrager is air to air (more effieciant) and the radix is air to water
