Kit wise, the ECS is a better engineered kit. ECS and A&A do sell brackets for a Procharger though. You could probably order an ECS sans blower and source your own D1SC. That being said, what's your power goal? A complete ECS kit with the Paxton blower would be cheaper and will support up to 800ish rwhp. I have an A&A kit with the same blower as the ECS kit, except in Vortech form. The T-trim. I did 754rwhp on my stock bottom end LS3 with E85, meth, and 18* of timing.

I'm in the minority since i'm a D1SC fan. I don't get into all of the kit differences BS, so get a D1 with a ECS bracket and have a beasly hybrid kit.

I have the ECS kit on my 2011 GS & it's working great for me, if your installer like the novi then go with that! It's a solid kit... Nice size blower, tial bov, restrictor plate for different boost levels & cheaper than a pro charger kit... W/ the money you save put it toward long tubes and meth... I made 700rwhp w/ those 3 mods!

You simply cannot beat ECS! Take a look at the thread where the guy made 864 on their base kit. Their customer service is great as well. Doug and Chris really take care of their customers, which is hard to say with many others in the Vette World.

I have always been a prochager fan because I loved my D1 on a Cobra I had years ago. I just got a D1SC for my C6Z and am having Josh from HPA install it this spring. With meth I am looking to be around 725 rwhp on a stock LS7. You can take a D1 up to 825 rwhp with a built motor. I also like a obnoxiously loud blower whine = procharger :-)

D1SC owner here, 755rwhp on a stock ls7, I too like the loud blower whine and have always liked procharger products, that being said I would not hesitate to buy ECS, A&A or a procharger kit, all 3 will get the job done.

The blowers are fine, the tensioner on the PC kit is garbage in my experience. The air filter setup is junk.

So you can buy an ECS kit, or you can buy a D1SC kit, then swap the bracket to ECS, swap inlets to a DP big mouth, swap BOVs to tial, and slowly convert it over to mostly ECS parts. I don't see the point in wasting time and money doing that so why not buy the ECS kit up front. The 1500s are great blowers.

Ok I'm pretty convinced to just go with the ecs novi kit my goal is 700 for now and seem pretty easily obtained. How lbs of boost are y'all runnin on meth to get in the 700 hp range and what the most a stock bottom end ls3 can handle safely I do lot of drag racing and have nt05 radials

Look in my Corsa Idle vid thread for what a T-trim/1500 sounds like idling. It's very noticeable.
