The intercooler actually does cost extra if you figure the procharger is the same price if not a little more than other centri's but procharger does not come as a complete package (ie. injectors,maf,pump). You have to buy those on top of a S/C
As stated above. if you want a flat torque curve get the KB if you go with a centri get a vortech (more cfm than paxton).
However don't go with the KB if you think it's going to be easier on your car than a centri. All that torque down low is harder on your car and a little more difficult to tune. Not trying to scare you out of a KB, that's my choice as well.

If you decide to get a blower like the Vortec on Paxton check out the ATI Procharger P1SC kits. They come with a 2 or 3 core intercooler at no extra charge. At the same psi as the other kits most of the time the ATI will make more power. Plus with the intercooler you can run more boost than the other kits without running race fuel. A P1SC 3 core kit for my 97 GT is $3695.00 shipped to my door. All you need to complete the kit is 42#inj and a Lightning MAF which cost 399.00. Just check and see what the aftercooler kit adds to the cost of the Vortec.
