I might be a bit bias but we make our own kit. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Just had Andy and his crew put one in my 2001 (6 months ago). The minor issues that have arisen have been quickly and happily explained over the phone (or email). The work is top notch. Andy is friendly, very knowledgeable and quick to respond and never makes fun of my idiot streak when I break things he had nothing to do with. Great shop too, very clean and welcoming. Can't go wrong with A and A.

**Procharger**all the way The newest design Is alot more reliable & a much better setup than the older one. I have the older Procharger with no problems luckily. I still wish I had the newer one though. Best of luck

There are many good solutions for the C5 - Procharger, Magnacharger, Paxton, Kenne Bell, Vortech. To properly answer this question I think you first need to define your needs/wants (e.g., power off-the-line or boost later in the rpm curve ... 500rwhp or 800 rwhp) and your car (e.g., high compression vs. low compression, stock vs. modded vs. planned mods). Then ask the question in C5 FI.

I used A&A, had some minor problems, but did a clutch (highly recommend) and 402 install at the same time. Initial problems (sensors) taken care of. No more problems runs like a bat out of hell.
Suggest you check out A&A

No doubt that there are many competant tuners out there but The Vette Doctors are hands down the best tuner, in my opinion. Their Procharger prescription should cure your need for speed.

I really like my A&A setup and my buddy likes his ECS setup and I know both of these vendors stand behind there products, I have also purchased many other items from both of these shops and no issues with them
