Default Magna charger or Procharger who's better?

I will be looking for a supercharger and need to know which one will be better for my ride, or is Kenne Bell come into play? I have stock drive train but might be adding a upgrade tranny. I live in Las Vegas where the temps reach up to 120, so I know I will need the intercooler.
Who makes the best charger for GM?

Depends. The Radix would give you better low end power, but the Procharger would give you mid to top end power.

I would lean towards the magna unless you wanna get crazy with the prochager.The procharger has more potential but takes a bit of work to allow it to do its job to the fullest extent.

Check out the sticky in the FI section. Everything you would want to know. BTW if you are in the market in a couple of weeks I will be selling my Vortech with FMIC, racing bypass etc for very cheap!

w3rd, also the Procharger is generally cheaper from what I've seen.

Yeah, but it will not be sold as a kit from what Magnacharger says. It will be just a tuner kit. I believe it will need to be peiced together due to the inlet being in the backside of the S/C unit. The current kit uses a M-112 unit. The bigger one will use a M-122 unit.
I'm hoping they will make it a kit, but doesn't look like it from what I'm hearing.
