I can give you an example. From 2001 to 2005 I was part of a company that had a network of 80 GM dealers that installed our supercharger systems at the dealer level. I did all of the engine and transmission calibrations and install training. They were all on GMC, Cadillac & Chevy trucks and SUV's. During that time frame there were 400 systems installed.

These were all installed on brand new vehicles. To date there has yet to be a powertrain failure caused by the supercharger system. Many of these vehicles have well over 100,000 miles on them at this point. The system added 90-110 HP depending on the vehicle.

Just my 2 cents.
