Daily drive with FI ?

If I get either TT / Single T / pro charger / supercharger can i make it a daily drive car? I commute roughly 80-90 miles a day from home to work.

Yes, no problem. Since you have an LFX, just get a tuner that knows what their doing and you'll be perfectly fine. The IPS twin kit is a great kit if you want twin turbos and the IPF supercharger kit is a great supercharger kit. Both should be more than adequate to give you the power you want while still maintaining daily driveability

What he said, I still prefer SC due to it may rain ant the Turbos sit close to the ground. But the turbos can make more torque too.

I drive 36 miles each way to work. I decided to go with a SC. Since I live in New England I wanted a system that would be tucked up not exposed to the elements. I went with the IPF kit becasue it was the most hardware mature kit and from conversations with IPF I felt that they had the only tune for the LLT.
As of today I am closing in on 15K with the system and everything has been performing great. I still stay in touch with IPF about the system and the tune. They have kept me up to date on anything that may pose a problem. So far there was only an issue with the power steering relocation hose which was promptly replaced.
For a daily driver the IPF system is the way to go. I still hope for a Roots system but I wouldn't switch from the current Votech V3 system.

most places won't touch a 2010-2011 v6 Camaro, because of the lack of tuning.

I am having the same problem!!! Right now, LG Motorsports seem like the only ones willing to help - this is with a Nitrous install. All I need is the controller installed and setup and a tune!

My vert is more of a sunny weather car but. It drives better than stock and has better fuel mileage with the maggie on it.

I drive mine every day and don't have any problems with it. Makes my morning commute soo much more enjoyable. I get stopped at the security check every morning because the guards want to gawk at my SC.

Yes, whiteside customs will work with the v6. They're also an ipf dealer.

Daily driving is not an issue. Mine was my daily.

True, only Trifecta or IPF are your tuning options at the moment.
