Go with the Vortech S Trim it is the best bang for the buck....Paxton is actually owned by Vortech so either one is good...Powerdynes SUCK...stay far away from them....

I had a nice black '88 GT with a Vortech "S" trim. They are pretty much maintenance free with the external oiliing. $1200 for a new Vortech kit and installed also? You should wear a mask! That's stealing it! Go Vortech. Around a long time, proven product.

Yeah, if you can get the kit at that price then it's pretty much gonna be a better setup for you, just because that's a total steal. I also like centrifugal blowers for street applications, since they don't make a bunch of low rpm power, it limits the traction problems you may experience. That's not to say they're the best, but it is on advantage in a street car where traction may be limited

Can't go wrong with the Vortech. I have a 7 PSI one and it was worth every retail penny.
