I agree you should go with a complete kit. Either kit A&A or ECS would be good kits. One has to remember. "If one is so much better then the other? Then the other wouldn't be around." Anyone that has been reading this forum for very long will remember some of the others that are not around much, if any more

If you get kit designed to fit a Vortech head unit, then yes. You would save some money that way.

Agreed cant go wrong with either kit. To the OP Like I said it ends up being personal preference for the most part. Here's some food for thought. If your looking to save on a used kit, Andy (owner of A&A) is always selling what he calls Newsed kits. (It seems the average price on the newsed kits is right around 4,000 bucks) These will be kits with very low mileage heads units or rebuilt head units and all the other parts will be brand new and 100 percent complete.
As for ECS, I did notice a couple forum vendors who sell the ECS kit for a decent price.
Again do your homework. Ask questions Ect. No matter which one you choose you won't be wrong!

You would need to use parts from both kits to have the best of both worlds.
My advice to you is just go for the 1000 HP build straight out of the gate and you will save yourself a lot in the long run.

Trying to piece together a kit will end up being the same price if not more expensive than buying a complete kit used. Even if you get the s trim head unit for free. Just pick up a nice used kit and sell the head unit you get for free

Thats why our 1000hp/8 second builds have the same brackets and basic configuration as our 550rwhp cars.
I am curious on your opinion of your first sentence, if you like I would be happy to go part for part on an amicable discussion as to why I do not personally agree with that statement.

Doug nothing but love brother but So do Andy's kits. With that said, we all know that an 8 rib config on either kit is capable of 1,000 WHP and an 8 second pass. I know Arun's car had/has a 10 rib but we both know Arun's car would still be in the 8s with an 8 rib too. 
Not trying to start a war cuz you know I like and respect you, your company and the ECS blower kit. I just don't want to mislead it at least I want to try and not mislead. Again to the OP it all comes down to personal preference.

All good! Thats why I specifically stated "amicably discuss", I dont want to make time to argue with anyone, but I'm perfectly willing to educate or give my opinion in the matter.
Arun's car is awesome, no denying that, but he has made several changes to his kit to make it perform the way it did. You do not have to do that with an ECS kit, it's ready to go right out of the gate. Thats not "personal preference", thats a fact.

Diff head units will give you diff rwhp and tq #, and will come in and out at diff RPM ranges. So look at what you want your car to do with the diff head unit. You will be happy with both vendors here... Robert

Forget both of those and get a Magnuson. They are the best superchargers made! Instant power down low. I had 2 twin turbo Corvette's and I love my supercharged Corvette. Explore all of your options and you will find the Magnusons to be the best. Good luck.

Yes if you are happy with 500rwhp than the maggie is the way to go. But most people want room to grow which you don't get with a maggie. If I was buying a kit new I would def go with the ECS Paxton novi 2000 kit. But I got a killer deal on a A&A kit with a D1sc pro charger kit which is exactly what I was looking for. Both A&A and ECS make the best kits available for corvettes. You really can't go wrong with either
