Vortech! I've heard lots of Paxton horror stories. Check out the Power Adder forum and read up.

Vortech owns both now. The old Paxton design is very dated but the Novi 1000 and Novi 2000 should be fine.

I have an old design paxton and it has needed to be rebuilt twice. Vortech is better, but Prochargers are the best thing out there.
