I regret that mine is no longer a daily driver. But for a basic SC package, it is fun as heck for the street.

Well let's see . . . It's rather like this, the first time you hit the pedal with a supercharger under the hood is much like the first time you ever snuggled up next to a girl/woman (or man if your a woman). Your breath is short and raspy, your heart is beating like it will run out of your chest, and your eyes are slit like a couple of piss holes in a snow bank.

Bottom line . . . you will never regret it!

I don't know about all that mushy stuff....j/k, but it is great to know that unless you do body modifications, no one will ever suspect until it's too late and I still use mine as a daily driver.

I love mine. No regrets at all.

I regret the V3. Should have went with a V1 like I had on my last car. I miss the loud whistle!

So a supercharger on a daily driver won't be a problem??

You don't get into boost under normal driving. Only when you put your foot into it. So it drives like stock till you hammer it. Then you better hang on.

No problems as long as you do your setup conservatively. If you run higher boost, you start risking the longevity of the motor especially if you don't have the supporting mods.

No regrets at all. I've had the Maggie for about 4 months and every time I drive the car I'm extremely glad I did it. I could feel bad about the money, but due to the circumstances I don't have to. Thanks to the Dear Leader I was able to sell 3 rifles I never shot any more for enough to pay for the Maggie, fuel pump and all.

By all means if you can pay for it without putting yourself in a bind, do it.

I regret going with the Kenne Bell at first (any roots/twin-screw I probably would have felt the same), but that problem is getting fixed now!

a blower is a real pain in the butt. Freaking car leaves 50yd black marks at will on 315 NT05 street tires. It's a pain I tell ya.

No regrets here. It's a blast to drive and always makes me smile. I only wish it was still my daily driver. I felt bad about putting the miles on it, so I slowly converted it to a drag/cruise vehicle. I would do it all over if given the chance.
