Default Which supercharger setup is best?

I know that this question probably has been asked a million times, but which supercharger is best for a stock lt-1 94 corvette?

I have heard concerns saying that it will only handle 5-6 psi of boost and any more and the piston rings will go. ATI says that it is only for non-intercooled supercharged LT-1, is that just marketing BS?

Sorry for the long question, thanks ahead of time... ;)

The ATI is what I was primarily looking at (mostly due to the inclusion of an intercooler in the package). You have an L98 with 10psi of boost...can L98's handle superchargers better than an LT1?

Go with an ATI Procharger. I run 8PSI with an intercooler and no problems. I would recommend intercooling no matter what system you go with. LT1's have high compression. I like the 3 year Procharger warranty.(only on the blower itself)

I dont know if my L98 can handle more boost but keep in mind in am in Denver Colorado the air is thin! so running 10psi is really nothing... :)
