You probably won't find a specific preference on blower. Each kit offers their advantages and disadvantages. The guys who bought a top mount blower will recommend that. The guys who bought a centrifugal blower will recommend that. I went with the ECS kit, the advantage of that kit is that the balancer does not need to be removed for installation. The disadvantage is that it is a low boost kit, with the base kit self contained head unit, the blower is done at about 12 lbs on the stock cam and redline. Opting for the oil fed head unit might let you get 15 lbs out of the kit if the belt does not start to slip. Either head unit is capable of destroying a stock LT1 engine. Only reason I bought this kit was because of how incredibly cheap it was offered on black friday 2021. If I was looking for a blower kit today, it would definitely be a LT4 to LT1 blower conversion. Everything else has become more expensive than I am willing to spend. For the $7K-$8K+ they want for new blower kits these days, I would rather do a heads & cam FBO build.
