Def go with the procharger! Thats the one I want so bad. If you go onto the website procharger.com they can send you some stuff specifically for the 350. The gain 55-60 % horsepower at only 7 psi

yeah, what really got me for the procharger was that it has its own oil system, so no need for tapping the block for feed and return lines... so i think i might go with that, only problem it doesnt come with a timing control unit so thats a lil more money but well spent money if i do....

1.) Comes with built on oil system2.) Comes with front mount (not an upgraded option)3.) More powerful, more efficient4.) Easy install then just pay for tuning separately5.) Because i said so

Vortech is good and a sponsor for nico (doesn't mean anything just thought i would mention it)

Personally no matter what you decide, i would upgrade the fuel system - bigger injectors and an intank instead of inline fuel pump, just to be sure your getting proper fuel. Then i would have it tuned at a conservative 380whp instead of the 400 it is capable of. Mine as well keep it safe instead of pushing limitations on stock internals. Also you are going to want to look into a timing retarder/monitor thingy (don't remember what they are called) that will correct your timing under boost throughout the entire power band - neither kit comes with one.

Don't know what i missed but something else should be in there.... someone can fill it in - i gotta go workout, i'll check back later

I when with vortech, but i had the professionals deal with it, i didn't want to do it my self just in case something goes wrong i have someone to blame. My superchager is running sweet i'm dying to post a video on the road but the snow down here is terrible. I changed my fuel pump, i didn't want the go with the return lines and the turboX Utec controls my time just perfect can't wait to take it to the dyno .

glad to here that. my main dislike against the vortech is tapping into the oil system = not easily reversible. procharger has its own built to the charger which makes the entire thing more independent. I would like to see vid of yours tho! Post up the dyno results too.

just an FYI to everyone, The Vortech V3 has a self-contained oil system too. No more tapping oil pans!
