Default RE: supercharger?

Paxton, Powerdyne, Procharger, Kenne Bell and Vortech are the choices for a Dodge Ram. Of them Powerdyne has the worst reputation for blower failures. Sometimes taking the motor with it. Not sure if they have resolved their issues or not. Kenne Bell can be tempermental tuning from what I understand not accepting other mods with them. Remember, you get what you pay for holds true. I really like my Procharger. Few guys I know that have one were pretty impressed. Know lots that swear by the Paxtons as well.
Heres a couple links to Procharger, Paxton & Vortechs at KRC

Is it worth the money? First time after installing I went to the track with it running pretty good (showing 7psi) I saw my 1/4mile ets drop by 1.2 seconds, 1/8 mile dropped .85, 0-60mph dropped 1.2. Conditions were poor on this day compared to the last time at the track na so the spread probably would of been larger. Either way, only bad thing about it. The need for speed . Ive already started the 408 build now, 7/11s in 06
