I'd like to hold off making the purchase until there's more information, but I'm unsure that will ever happen.

So, I’m in the same boat as you, but I’ll be purchasing a SC for Black Friday. That being said, after researching the three brands I’m leaning towards the Tuner Kit from Edelbrock and buying an Overkill tune.
I currently have a Trifecta tune from Black Friday a couple years ago which was a mistake because they don’t offer forced induction tuning I just found out.
Iirc someone did post here about getting the V6 Procharger kit but they have a 1LE.
Here are my biggest takeaways:
-All kits have an option to include a tune. However, Overkill offers free lifetime tune revisions.
-Pricing for Stage 1 kits with tune as of 11/4/19 = Edelbrock $4,999.87, Overkill $5,899.00, Procharger $6,099.00.
-HP/Torque gains (according to each vendor’s website) = Edelbrock 376whp/319lbft, Overkill 366whp/299lbft, Procharger ???whp/???lbft [Note: I haven’t found a procharger dyno sheet that wasn’t the 1LE I mentioned earlier, and their website doesn’t list one. Instead, they claim a 45% gain in HP so take from that what you like]
-Edelbrock and Procharger offer limited warranties with PC’s seeming more strict (your vehicle must be less than 3 years old and have less than 36,000 miles from what I read)
-Boost levels: Edelbrock 10 psi, Overkill 8-16 psi, Procharger 7 psi
-Overkill also offers a catch can system with their kit
Now, there are a variety of other differences that I haven’t mentioned but those were my biggest takeaways. Hope this helps (and I’m hoping it’s all as accurate as I tried to make it lol)
