I have a A&A in my 2014 Vette Z51 with catted headers in this is my customer opinion:
Pros
The car gained almost 190whp with the basic 4in pulley
The power deliver is smooth and linear
It was my first experience tuning a C7, and I was able to make the car run like an OEM should do. However It took me 4 month to get it right. 2 days to make the power, the rest to make it run smooth. Sure If I have to do it again it would be way less time.
The supercharger is really quiet. No extrange noices.
The SC looks really nice on the engine bay.
Cons
It requires cutting your precious to fit the Intercooler.
The radiator heat extractor is forced against the intake tube
The ABS relocation requires some line bending.
No basic tune included.
Weighting all factors, I would go again with the A&A.

Just an observation.
I don't think he said Procharger anywhere and here you come self invite .
This thread is/was E-force /A&A topic.
Since you didn't notice .
I think the A&A bracket and balancer compare favorably to other kits kit . Along with other not so small items. Then I see someone can weld a scoop on the intercooler.
Where did they get that notion.
That's part the reason my next kit will be my 4th A&A!

So, I was on the fence about this same issue before I made my decision.
My dad and I installed an Edelbrock on my HEMI Charger AWD a few years ago, and the instant torque was awesome. That supercharger whine was awesome. The heatsoak? Ehhh, not really that big of a deal. It was heavy as hell, though, but that kinda went with the Charger dynamic. And talk about gorgeous, a clean fit and install. Edelbrock owning their own foundry certainly helps with making some beautiful products.
Well, I was all set to go with an Edelbrock on my C7 but one thing stuck out to me: it's easy enough as it is to make the rear end start spinning in my C7. With the instant-on torque of an Edelbrock, launching the Corvette would become... interesting, to say the least.
So that along with price differences made me decide to go centri blower. My dad and I installed a Procharger kit on his Challenger R/T, so I have a bit of familiarity with centri blowers which also helped sway my decision.
As for ECS vs A&A (a bit out of scope of this thread, but thats ok) they are such a similar kit that it is really down to preference. Mike at TPS hooked me up before with my Edelbrock, so I went to him again, and after a chat with him I decided on the A&A kit, due to it's innovative intercooler ram air design as well as a slightly better price.
That being said, I love all the guys who focus on Corvette performance, so I ordered an ECS built AlkyControl kit and TexasSpeed headers, spread the love around.
No matter what your choice, you will love the result. Hope this helps.
