Default Your thoughs on Prochargers?

I'm looking at S/Cs for my Cobra and I'm leaning toward a Procharger..

1) It appears that they are easier to install seeing you do not have to tap into the oil pan.
2) From what I've read they sound pretty cool.. I don't really want a sleeper.. I want people to know I got a lil somethin somethin under the hood..
2) They seem decently priced..

What do you guys think? Or, is something like a Vortec the way to go?

I'm looking into getting a procharger as well. Have you seen any video clips of a procharger in action where you can hear it? I've seen one but couldn't really hear it.

Yeah prochargers are one of the more quite superchargers, but no worries its still a supercharger so your deffinatly going to be able to hear it, you can even hear the vortech SQ trims, which stand for SUPER QUIET, so no matter what you will hear any supercharger.

I thought prochargers are one of the louder ones.. Thats kinda what I want.. The hell with a sleeper, I want a whistle as i'm sitting at a light and taking off slowly..

Well I was at a car show and a 99-01 mustang GT pulls in, maybe 30-50yards away talking to a guy and as he starts moving I hear this nice asz whistle as he starts, I was like daamn, thought it was a turbo at first, but he popped his hood at it was a Paxton Novi, I said, if I had a 4.6 thats what I would get no question, the supercharger was soo big 2, just awesome, go for that.
