Regardless of this obvious opportunity for every tuner that visits this board to give their opinions, I am curious to hear from others on this board about the durability of supercharged cars when used for road racing (or at least frequent road course driving). I am also curious whether turbocharging or supercharging is more durable. I suspect that the answer lies in the ability of the manufacturer to correctly address air fuel ratios thoughout the car's rpm band, but I am totally ignorant in this area (and lots of others) !

Good question. I've never taken mine on a road course and probably never will. I think NO2 buyers / supercharger / turbo customers are street / strip people.....

Gerald,
I am very seriously considering a SC for my 98. If you don't mind some Q's...
How many miles on your system?
How often do you need it (engine/SC) serviced?
Any unusual aspects of the system that make the car a non-everyday car?
Sorry for seeming nosey, but might as well ask the guy who's had it done.
Thanks

Jamie
