Personally, I think the S-trim is a better blower than the ATI P1SC.

Engine…not cheap
Drivetrain...not cheap
Fuel system...not cheap
Tuning/new ECM...not cheap

Strim or p1sc. Powerdyne is a low-boost (cfm) system.

I would say both are pretty comparable with that respect. It really would come down to your combination and how fast you plan on spinning the blower.

He wants the most power. The only way to do that power always there is to supercharge it. If the word cheap is in the same sentence than it is not for you. Supercharged cars are never come cheap. Ask anyone they'll tell yeah

Of all the issues that new racers on this and other sites fail to appreicate, perhaps number one is the inevitable necessity to add addtional parts as a result of adding a power adder such as a supercharger. For example, if you bolt on a $6,000 Vortech supercharger and add 150 hp, you will eventually face head, cam, exhaust, transmission, torque converter, torque arm, SFC, ring/pinion and/or rear end mods. I've been there, and done that.

The mods never end! You either want them or you need them. Alot of times you need them because you wanted something else

I'd narrow the choices to either the Vortech S-trim or ATI P-1SC.

I am not going to jump on you like everyone else. But when you mention cheap in this section, your in the wrong place. If you think that the $3600 you see for the vortech is it to drive ablown car, your not thinking about other things. There is not cheap route to take, a rebuild and fuel/ignition system are needed. Look into the s trim. cheaper would be a powerdyne.
