I have 23K miles on my car.
I was thinking putting on a nice bolt on. I dont want to deal with a turbo so it between the ATI procharger P-1SC maybe D-1SC, Paxton V9 SQ G, or a Vortech GTrim with aftercooler.
Give me your advice
Thanks

 

Really only two choices Vortech or ATI. If you get ATI, look at what others have been saying about the SC units leaking. Maybe better to get a regular engine oil lubericated setup?? In my case I have a older P600b setup that is lubed from engine oil and the thing runs great. Problem is that nowadays the old P600b can't come close to some of the other setups as far as putting out high PSI numbers. But if you are looking at the 7-12PSi I would still recommend a P600b. Mine has lasted over 95,000 miles and I got it freshed up when I redid my motor a little over a year ago. Also the ATI setups come with a intercooler. Good luck.

 

I have had a P1sc, it failed after about 1700 miles(Ati says they can't figure out why). I currently have a d1sc leaks oil after 34 miles. ATI. I have a friend that has had a p600, a couple d1sc's, and some f1sc's that he had problems with, then again a other friend has had a p600 that he flogs all the time and never had a problem. So it may be luck of the draw, but for my advise i would never recommend ATI, but some people swear by them.

 

Thanks for the advice...
Looks like Vortech is the way to go
Does anyone w/Vortech Supercharger have any problems?

Thank Again

 

The one bad thing about Vortech's is that they come without an intercooler. So you can only run around 5lbs. of boost as to where the ATI's come with an intercooler and you can run 8lbs. of boost.

 

Actually Vortech has such a package
Vortech Supercharger Kit w/V-9 SQ G-Trim w/Aftercooler for 2000 GM LS1 (8-9psi - polished)

 

I would get the vortech and would try if you can upgrade to a T-trim.

 

>Is a T-trim workable with the LS1 cars ? I haven't seen to many LS1 cars with T-trims mostly G-trims ... and of course the one with a YS-trim .

 

IF a YS-trim fits.. the T-trim is a walk in the park.

 

I personally think the ATI is the best bang for the buck and i dont know of anyone personally that has had problems with them

Vortech have OEM longetivity really...

I think we could argu this till were blue in the face but in the end it's personal preferance. everyone has good luck and horror stories on both sides.

My friends T-trim just took a dump on him last month. Puked up metal chunks all in his brand new 383s oil pan.

Im more partial to Procharger but when it all comes down to it.. Theyre both about the same.

 

Im with you CJ they are both good choices and like someone else said on this post the only choices. plus with the vortec if you blow a head gasket and leak coolant into the oil your probably doing a head gasket and sending the blower back for a rebuild.

Procharger.
My friend is a procharger dealer and procharger is suing vortech over false power advertisements. They're saying vortech is overrating their numbers. Sofar all the dyno test have proven vortech is over rated and procharger is underrated. The only way to get advertised power out of a vortech is to turn the timing and boost up so far that it voids the warranty, and blows up the engine. My friend put a procharger on his LT1 formula and loved it. Said it improved a second and a half E.T. I think but I don't know how much boost he had for sure but I'mpretty sure it was 8 psi. Just don't go vortech they're overrated and you won't get the promised power.
