Default Which supercharger?

Can anyone help? I would appreciate thoughts on which supercharger system might be better, Vortech or Procharger. I see lots of folks with the Procharger but not too many Vortechs. Is there a reason? This is for a 98 C5 automatic.

Dont forget about the magnuson.
Talk to andy at a&a
He will tell you vortech hands down and so will most here.
But untill the tunners can properly tune the LS 2 with the correct software
Your just spinning your wheels with a SC on a c6

We feel a procharger would get the job done for you.

I have to agree, Sean does business the way it should be done. I just hope he doesn't read this he may raise his prices to what he's worth
