It depends on what you want to do with your car. Street performance and track once in a while Kenne Bell. For more track oriented car Vortech or nitro.

go with the KB...It'll give you the best bang for your buck. also the best HP outage at like 6 psi for just driving around...and some really good outage at around 14 for the track,

Which one of these superchargers is the loudest? And which one is easiest to install or are they all pretty much the same?

If your running around with only 6 PSI on the street and then upping it to 14 PSI on the track your either risking blowing the engine every time you hit the track or your just silly.

There isn't any reason to lower the boost (at least from 14 to 6) on a 2v street car. Your not (shouldn't) be running race gas yet, and if it will hold up to a few runs at the track at 14 psi it will hold up period... that is to say it will hold up because you have a built shortblock.

so far as the original post... all your basically going to get is the centri guys voting for what they have, and everyone that doens't have a KB voting for KB. The main problem I have with KB (other than traction problems, but I think that can be solved easily) is the pricing. For the price of a 2.1L intercooled setup you can do a vortech + DIY cooler + cams and still have money left over for other mods... its just too dammed expensive for very little gain.

KB period... Vortechs are dyno queens thats it (if that haha). On the street they would be dominated by a Kenne Bell.
