Default Supercharger Install Difficulty?

Is there one that is easier to install than another?

Procharger, Vortech, or Paxton Novi

I would say no, they are all about the same when it comes to installation, the difference would be if its inter(after)cooled or not... thats not so much more difficult, but takes more time

The Paxton and Vortech will basically be the same thing but with a procharger I dont think you have to tap your oil pan.

Correct. The Prochargers are self contained. But boy is it a pain in the *** when you have to chenge the oil! Easier to remove the headunit itself. Luckily, it doesn't take too long.

Yea but if you are tapping your own pan I coul just imagin how nerve racking that is [&:] I think I might have a shop tap my pan before I install it.
