Default what are the different brands/types of blowers?

I'm a little confused as to what's what out there. Is a Procharger an ATI. What's a Vortech? I think I've got a decent idea of what a Magnuson is, but it's the Vortech/ATI/Procharger question that has me confused.

Sorry for the newbie question on this topic, but I'm just starting to do my homework on this...

Thanks.

Magnacharger is .... also known as Magnuson
A&A uses a procharger blower.

Thanks HP. That Magnuson sounded wicked! Not sure if I could handle that every day though since my Z is a daily driver.

I'm looking at the A&A kit, since he'll be doing the install (fortunate to live within driving distance).

Anybody have a sound clip of the Procharger?

Mike that's the main problem: every time I go to Andy's shop it keeps costing me more friggin' money! Why do you think I'm asking this question?!?!?!

Hell, my first mod over my last C5 after going there was selling it a month later and buying a new Z!

I heard your car rolling in at his grand opening, and it sounded sweet. I want to hear what his kit sounds like at speed though...
