You'll probably get differing opinions on this subject.I have been very happy
with my Vortech. 5 psi boost and no problems so far. (18k since installation) :seeya

Hey

Saw your thread. I do not know if anyone can tell you which is best for your car. I chose ATI because of the reputation of the local tuner who you will see often. Also, ATI is based in my hometown.

I'm in the same boat. Can't decide on which one to get. I will probably go with either Vortech or ATI b/c I dont' want to replace my hood. I am leaning more towards the Vortech since I don't think you have to relocate the radiator with that setup but, I need to verify that.

I chose Magnusson for two reasons. 1) It provides better lower end numbers....and afterall, how many times will you really be running on the high end.
:confused: How about every tme you take it through the gears. :smash: :smash: :smash:
