good blower for a daily driver?

preferably a Procharger, whats a good blower for a daily driver, its gonna have spray for those rare occasions, but im looking at 400-500hp (off the spray) as a goal w/stock block bored .030 over, and a nice size custom blower cam?

I have an ATI P1SC and it has lasted me about 35K so far, it seems to be pretty reliable (knock on wood). The first 25K was with 4.5# of boost and the last ~10K has been with a 15# pulley but because of my mods (bigger cubes, lower compression, cam, exhaust...etc) I am seeing 10# of boost.

Hope that helps,
Claude

I had my p600 ATI on my daily drive for about 95,000 miles and about seven years. When I did my freshing up of my motor I got the seals and bearings in the blower redone.

If you can get a D-1SC that doesn't leak then they are awesome blowers. Otherwise a T trim is usually pretty reliable and will make lots of power. I've seen lots of Prochargers shell lately so personally I'd go with a Vortech. An S-trim or any Procharger will make the power you are looking for, a T-trim or D-1 will support over 700rwhp though.

My D-1SC equipped Formula was an excellent daily driver - no problems, and tons of fun when I did put the throttle down...

Blowers and stock bottom ends don't mix. Try a search.
