Ready for a blower!

Other than Procharger what other blowers would any of you recomend? Personally I won't ever buy another Procharger. The support I got from Procharger was terrible and due to the blower mount flexing I was eating/throwing belts all the time. I had a 1997 Camaro with the D-1 Procharger. I was so frustrated with the whole thing I finally sold the car. I have a friend who currently is having the same problem.
I now have a 1998 LS1 Camaro and want to up the power. I have a friends with both Procharger and more than one with Vortech blowers. The guys with the Vortechs that I know have no horror stories. They seem to make good power as well.
What about the other companies out there, any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Procharger rules all. How much boost were you running when you threw belts? I've had my D-1 for 6 months with no problems at 7psi.

I run a Vortech V2-S with aftercooler and have had zero problems nor have I heard of anybody with any. You pay a little more but in my opinion it's well worth it

I believe the mounting and tensioning system that ProCharger has available for the LS1 is better than the system they use for the LT1. It's a very different setup.
