Gonna do a bit more homework before I spend the coin on a procharger.
$900 saved is good....but is it as good?

A&A SYSTEM ADVANTAGES OVER THE COMPETITION


Superior Belt Drive System
  • Belt wrap is the key to eliminating belt slip and our proprietary bracket system offers more belt wrap than any other system on the market.
  • Our bracket is CNC machined from 5/8” high quality 6061 aluminum plate and fly cut on both sides to assure absolute consistency in thickness. This is imperative for proper belt alignment.
  • Our brackets are constantly quality checked by assembling on our “mock up” engine and checking alignment with a laser aligner.
Superior Intercooler Design
  • Our intercooler design has evolved, through constant testing, into the most efficient intercooler system available for the late model Corvette.
  • Our intercoolers rely on superior “air management” of the charge air as well as the ambient cooling airflow. Both are equally important and are often overlooked by the competition. With the limited space available in a Corvette, positioning of the intercooler is critical.
  • A large intercooler that is hidden behind the frame is not as efficient as a smaller intercooler that is exposed to full frontal airflow.
  • We not only use a large intercooler, but we are able to ram more cooling air through the core with our “Ram Air” intercooler design. The integral scoop captures air from under the front fascia and forces it through the core. The entire core is exposed to this cooling air stream.
  • Other designs allow air to travel over and around the intercooler.
  • The interior of our intercoolers differ from the competition also. We utilize directional vanes in the lower tank to direct charge air evenly across the intercooler core. This is an expensive but very important addition.
Superior Engine Cooling
  • Intercooler positioning is equally important in how it affects engine cooling. Many supercharger systems are plagued by overheating issues due to intercooler placement. Our intercooler is placed much further forward than any other design. This allows the fans to draw cooling air through the radiator and AC condenser without being shrouded by the intercooler.
  • We also leave the radiator mounted in its upright position for better cooling. Some competitors lay the radiator down at a steep angle which impedes air flow through the radiator.
Aesthetics
  • The A&A system is one of the best looking systems around.
  • Fit and finish is second to none. Our brackets, ductwork and the supercharger, itself, are all show polished.
  • Our top shroud fits perfectly and is powder coated satin black to compliment the polished components.
  • All the visible couplers are high quality silicone and our “T Band” clamps are polished stainless steel.
  • The entire system fits snuggly under your stock hood.
  • You’ll be proud to show off your engine compartment with your A&A Supercharger system installed.
Top Quality Components
  • We utilize only the highest quality components in our systems.
  • Vortech Engineering head units are used exclusively.
  • Highly efficient, hand welded, air to air intercoolers.
  • Large Vortech blowoff valve (Maxflow® Race Valve)
  • Aluminum charge tubing for lighter weight
  • Silicone couplers
  • Stainless steel clamps.
  • High capacity injectors
  • Kenne Bell Boost A Pump

The original poster is somewhat close to us, so feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss our ECS Paxton kit.
Like you, I agree that talk can be cheap, but results are key. Do some research if you like, but you will find that our cars are consistently faster then our competition, (just look at the 1/4 mile list on top of this section) and IMO that is where it counts. We by far have the most C5/C6 supercharging experience on the east coast and will be happy to show you why and how we achieve these results over others if you would like to come in first for a test drive and break down of our supercharger kit.

Though there may be some advantages to other systems........I ended up pulling the trigger on a procharger this morning for my LS2. Got a good price at a close friend's shop.
You guys are class acts.....but ya live just too far away.
My Chevelle will always be faster than my vette in the quarter so a couple of tenths slower with the vette was not an issue....
