If you're looking centri, why not consider the ECS kit. They're right here in NJ and a great group to work with.

I'd go Vortech out of those two but agree on ECS which uses Paxton.

ECS. Paxton is just the higher end version of Vortech.

I have a Procharger no regrets here. However if I were you I would go twin turbo makes more power and instead of changing a pulley to up the boost you can just turn a knob. But to be honest with the Procharger I was all stock when I put my system on and I made 500 at the rear. But looking at your mods you won't need the cai obviously, and the under drive pulley will be replaced. You should be good with the stock fuel setup they'll send 65lb injectors, but a boost a pump won't hurt. With a good tune I'm assuming you'll get the stage 2 kit but with headers I don't see why you couldn't make 515-525 at the rear.

Agreed turbos>all but if he is looking for a blower ECS kit is the nicest/best. Now if he wants to open it up to other options then look into a twin kit.

I have a Vortech blower on my car, I gotta say it's the best investment I've ever made into a big power gain hands down. V3Si is quiet, but not too quiet so that you don't hear the boost in action and best of all it's from a company like Vortech who has been making superchargers for the last 25 years.

I'd go with Vortech for ease of install, reliability, ability to upgrade later down the road, and of course the brand name as well. Let me know if you have any questions on that Vortech kit, I can get you details!

You live on NJ and are close to a great shop, ECS is my vote

Vortech/Paxton uses a 4 inch MAF housing to maintain Torque calculations very important on the L99 with Auto trans.

Ted, paxton /vortech better bang for your buck then the pro charger.

Vortech pulled out all the stops when designing that kit.

Comes with ATI superdamper and 1200 hp intercooler, 3 inch alum tubing silicone couplers 10 rib drive system, all standard.
