Seeing that you have a non-pi motor and an auto it will take a lot of boost and a lot of engine mods to see 400hp. Now, you also have to decide if you are looking for 400 Wheel Horsepower or 400 Crank Horsepower. 400 crank is a much more realistic goal for you with your current setup.

PI H/C/I swap, maybe get a little port job before they go in, do exhaust and some bolt ons, then an 11psi procharger kit 3 core IC and BOOM

My opinion for what it's worth, get the Procharger S/C, it is easiest to install, and you don't have to drill a hole in you oil pan. It's totally self contained, the oiling system that is. Just change it like you do you car engine oil. Every 3,000 miles, I hope that's when you change it anyway. Look them up, I'm sure you'll agree.

no - actually there is no seal - along th bottom anyway - people claim the turbine seal leaks - but this happens no more so than any other supercharger - basically theyre are all just as good quality wise - but the power and step up ratios are different.

some people had problems with them leaking. They found out alot of times if you run 3/4 of a bottle of procharger oil rather then a full bottle it pretty much stops the leaks and doesnt hurt the blower.
I would also recomend ati as there kits are pretty easy to install no pan tapping, And makes great power. its really up to you though.

Like i said there all good blowers.I think adding the T-fitting to the oil pressure sender was more of a pain in the *** really. If i was him i would go by what i can get the best deal on if hes not set on what blower he wants.

I've never heard of them leaking, guess you learn something new everyday here. The thing I liked about a self contained oiling system was that you didn't run the risk of getting some contaminated oil up in your expensive S/C, and Procharger was the only one I knew of. Is there more out there, and do they make more power? If so please share the info, many people here would like to know. I'll still go with a self contained oiling system though, to old to change my thinking on that.

mcm on the v6's like teals when i did his vortec with him his has to be tapped on the side, it was such a pain in the *** to get in there and do it sucked.

damn that's purdy.
I don't like procharger... not enough oil volume to cool and lubricate such a precision item. Same thing with powerdyne... no likey belts where gears should be.
Paxton or Vortech, premium product at a modest price. Otherwise, roots type.

the novi has a higher output potential -however i dont liek how paxton says not to push it close to that potential - i dont know why - the 2 best blowers for the money are the d-1sc and novi 2000 - the d-1 is more race proven ( or at least sought after) so D-1 is better in my opinion - it makes a little more boost (not much) but it has a better step up ratio - the D-1sc will make you built car faster at the track than the Novi- but if you dont care about 1/10's the novi is about 1000 cheaper in many cases - sometimes 500.
