Paxton, Vortech or Procharger?

Bingo! Show some patience if the price is a little higher. My Vortech was a few extra dollars because it was a custom setup. For me, I was always infatuated with Vortech ever since the late 90's when I would hear them whistling on the cars of some of the older fellas when they'd roll into meets. Stuck with me ever since. That did it for me, not any statistical data. Couldn't be any happier.

I've got a Roots style M90 supercharger on my Roush and will be picking up an R2300 next month. Current used M90 prices are $2,500 - $3,000. It has 10K miles on it.
Don't know what the other superchargers cost that you're looking at but PM me if this interests you.

@ Campo427R, thanks for your offer, but my preference is going out to the vortech on this one. i'll keep an eye out if there's someone in my club who would be interested though.
I appreciate the info guys. I'm leaning towards the Vortech. I have a fairly healthy budget of around $6500 (MAX). Thats shipped and everything, i also have to deal with importfees (as i am not in the USA). The Vortech looks are really beginning to grow on me.
My first choice would've been the Whipple HO Kit. But it's just a bit too expensive for what i want. So unless someone knows a place where i can get the whipple HO kit for under 6K, and who's willing to give me a tax exempt (because it'll shipped out of the states) i'll be placing my order for the Vortech next week

The ProCharger has a dedicated belt tensioner so it makes boost nearly instantly compared to Vortech/Paxtons. I had a Vortech and it was a love/hate relationship. I loved it for it's Jeckell and Hyde persona, but day to day performance... it was like a "sleeping giant".
Sure, on street tires, if I floored it off the line it would create a spectacular smoke show.. but it would be about 65-70mph until it hooked (4.10s/auto/street tires!).
But anything below boost, and it was nearly non-existant. It lives at WOT, with an auto and 4.10s (part throttle, LOVES to shift and you'll be in overdrive at 30mph lol) it's very "on/off" like a light switch in terms of performance. It over powers the stock tires and lags with grippy tires at the track (takes time to build boost, even with power braking).
