supercharger for daily use?

[Flyntgr]

I drive my '96 GTS at least 4 days per week (always unless it's raining or I need to take the pickup)in Southeast Louisiana, and I wonder how a s/c would hold up under daily use. I now have 40,000 miles on my car, and would not like to mess up its dependable nature, though I'd like the extra horsepower. Anyone use a S/C'd GTS in daily driving? What maintenance or problems should I expect, if any?

The only problem is tickets.

The increased pressures will depreciate the engine's longevity. Can't get around physics.

At somepoint, every engine will pucker up. Rings, main bearings, cylinder walls, crank webs.......

Your's will just come sooner than others, depending on how you drive it.

Simple solution though; re-ring, hone, & rebuild.

My Dodge Ram is my daily driver - I put 3,000 miles on it in the 12 months since I put the Roe S/C on my Viper.

I put 6,500 miles on my Viper during the same period.

No problem driving everyday. That's what superchargers are for. Very easy on the engine. Tom

About 10,000 on the Roe S/C in one year.
