Like Birdieman says - Kenne Bell Twin Screw is the best.
For low-mid RPM.

I thought that Prochargers with air to air intercoolers were better than Vortechs Aftercooler simply because the Aftercooler was air to water, which was not as efficient as the air to air... Could you please explain why the Vortech kit is better?
Air/water can be more efficent with just ice & no water cooler assembly, it takes away less psi when the air travels through it & cools it more depending on the size of both. Air/water is more of a low speed intercooler, like for if you live in a city & you are in alot of stop & go. Air/air is a good intercooler for higher speeds like highway driving.
A blower that is tapped into the oil supply will last longer, even though the oil for it is specifically for superchargers. However a supercharger with its own oil will offer a little more power.

alot of folks also run Paxton intercoolers with the Vortechs instead of the aftercooler
Does the KB requires any regular service after install?
The only service required on a KB is making sure the self-contained oil in the blower stays full. Basicly it is service free. I never had to add oil to my twin screw ever, and I checked it regularly.
really how eff. is an air to air cooler?..not very.....
Very efficent at lowering temperatures, the problem is you lose pressure because of the path the air has to take.

Roots blowers are good for low-mid power. Twin screw blowers are good for low-high power. Isaac, don't you have a KB on your car?
Installed one on a friends car, never on any of mine. I'm not talking about how good they are unless you are referring to good as efficient. Roots are really efficient in low rpm, twin screw are really efficient in low-mid, & centrifugal is really efficient in high rpm. So a centrifugal is more efficent than a twin screw in higher rpm. Roots & twin screw are almost equal in efficiency in low rpm. & neither can rival the twin screw in mid rpm.

air / water is more efficient... water is a much better conductor of heat - only prob with water is that it heat soaks fast
As far as temperature cooling if you pack ice in with the water, an air/water is the most efficent, problem is when the ice melts. Air/air will will cool air more at higher speeds than the air/water. It is also more reliable, requires less maintainance, & cost less.
Air/water will cool air more at lower speeds, give better throttle response, have a lower pressure loss, and have less compressor surge. Air/water also doesn't require as much space, because it uses less plumbing.
