Default question about S/C

Procharger also has a shorter step up ratio which gets you into boost quicker....but those 4.10s will do it too

I have heard this, but only directly from prochargers website, which IMO is bull****.

Hell, I am making 1-2 PSI down around 2800 RPM. my vortech seems to boost fairly quickly, I haven't seen any prochargers making boost before that.

The only downside to going with a vortech is no intercooler in the 4K~ pricetag. However, a DIY is easy, and the SQ sieres has ALOT more room to grow than a PS1C. IMO if you EVER think your going to build the shortblock the DS1C or SQ (or T trim) is for you, not the PS1c
