I enjoyed my Procharger when I had it. I finally put out about 375 rwhp with it and fuel mods. I did not like the 5K mile maintenance. (lazy I guess) I also selected the Procharger for the intercooler at the time. I would consider the Vortech now that they have added the air/water intercooler and require less maintenance over all.

ATI says the straight cut is better for street use.
If I were to go back and do it over with my previous ATI set up, I would have used their curved impeller blower along with a 3 core intercooler. I can't recall the model number for the curved impeller. I believe the straight cut is P1SC. The curved may be P1SC2 or D1SC. Best to call ATI.
Two years ago the ATI wasn't much more than the Vortech, but it included an intercooler. That was my deciding factor at the time.

long time no hear. How you been buddy?
I too would go with that setup, if I had the appropriate funds. I believe the curved impeller is the D1SC. I was happy with my P1SC, but I always like trying new things.
I wonder though, how much low end they sacrifice. Probably nothing 4.11s, or 4.56's wouldn't solve for.
