might get more info from the forced induction/n2o section. the maggies are less expensive but require a new hood. I don't know much about blowers but from what I read the ati kits are very popular.

Right now the ECS Paxton and the A&A Vortech are the best available.

Go with either A&A or ECS!! Choose the one that is closer to you since you can get both blower setups at both shops. Andy also sells the paxton and ECS the Vortech.
PS. I have Andys (A&A) P1SC kit and I am very happy with it, no issue at all and he has always been there when I needed him. Awesome customer service

I love my A&A DS1C setup and either of those two shops will steer you in the direction that you want to go

The ECS (http://www.eastcoastsupercharging.com/) Novi/Paxton kit is by far the best bang for the buck. Tons of hp potential. $6,500 is a heck of a deal when you factor in everything that is included with the kit.
