ati p600b SC info needed

[Winters98GT]

I know the blower is small, but Im looking at possibly buying one. Does anybody have any knowledge about this blower? Does it compare to the old a-trim vortech? I like the idea of a small blower that builds boost quickly kind of like a roots blower, well not really, but I dont have a lot of usuable RPM's with the NPI heads and Cams so I figured a smaller blower is ideal. I also know that it needs the oil pan to be tapped, unlike most ATI units. Im looking for 300rwhp with LT's, and a PI intake at 6-8pounds. Any input would be appreciated.

I've never even heard of that blower, depending on how much it costs I would just look for a used S-Trim they are pretty easy to come by. Im not sure about the specs of the blower but if its too small it will do more harm than good.

04.... thank you for the reply....the p600b was actually one of the most popular blowers procharger has ever built. I would guess that sales of that blower still outway the new P and D series. It was produced for the lt1, a ton of small blocks, 5.0's and the 96-98 4.6's. A guy on the corral has one and has over 200k on it, and 300k on the stock block. Its a very strong blower. Ive done a little research, and many people feel that its one of the most reliable blowers out there, but not too many people have them on 96-98's because of the vortech and paxton and ati p series that came out right after it. However, like a vortech on the 96-98 cars, you have to tap the oil pan. However, the kit is intercooled, which I prefer to the aftercooler and moving the battery back with the vortech. Just wondering if anybody out there has any more input on these setups, since the vortech is so common. Again, thanks for the reply and Ill be hollering atcha if I go with the vortech. I have a complete 96-98, 3.6 pulley kit with low miles and the aftercooler lined up to buy if I dont go with a procharger.

There was a guy on the board who just posted about his bearing going out after that many miles. Must be the guy you are talking about.

I would imagine that any of the the new P/D series Prochargers and S/SQ Trim Vortechs are still more efficent. I would look into the low mileage Vortech kit and sell the aftercooler. You could prolly get $250-$500 out of the aftercooler and put that towards a custom intercooler then you would have a more efficent blower with a way more efficent intercooler.

yeah, imo efficiency>reliability. If your going FI on your car might as well get around 390rwhp if your engine's going to have the stress on it anyways. It's pretty easy to have a reliable engine when the blower is only bumping you up to 330-340rwhp.
Plus at the rate you go through sn-95's why do you need to get it to 300k?
