Yes the Novi 2000 will out flow the Vortec, but its a $1000 more as is the Kenne bell and he asked for the best bang for the buck...It really depends on what you final HP goals are for your car...

I don't know of any centrifigul blower that won't give him an easy 500+rwhp. They all seem to get the job done just fine. I don't think power is an issue here. He needs to look into the specifics of each one. Price, sound, setup, ect.

For the lowest cost F/I, I don't think you can beat A&A's price for a brand new kit. I have searched them all. Unless you want to run a non-intercooled silver maggie and cut a hole in your hood.

The ECS Paxton setup, as far as I know, isn't $1,000 more expensive if you factor in everything that is included with the kit and the greater power potential of the Novi 2000 headunit.
Basically you're saying that a slower car can be built for less money. Big whoop.

$5495 is the current "sale" price from the A@A web site. It now includes 42 injectors and what looks like a Racetronix fuel pump with bucket and sock.
An upgrade to support what might be the same power potential as the Paxton Novi is $895, so maybe $6390 total on the A&A to equal the ECS. If you think you'll ever need it.

Do not overlook a used setup as I am very happy with my used DS1C A&A setup that assists with my 742 rwhp and I believe this is the best bang for the buck, as my car now is sick on the street under boost

I agree, a nice used ECS or A&A Kit that has been checked and doubled check to be a complete kit with all the necessary parts there in good shape is the best bang for the buck in my opinion but of course whenever buying anything used-BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!
