Yah, I do.. though if you're honestly considering an S/C for a DD, I'd get a centri unit, like the vortech, or procharger, or paxton novi kits.. Centri's are better on gas mileage, and if you do a lot of driving around town, unless you've got a severe lead foot and shift at 3,500rpms all the time, you'll likely never see any boost.. That's just me though.. Twin screws produce a much broader powerband, so the increase in torque and HP down low makes it a little tricky when you do a lot of stoplight to stoplight driving.. There ARE some guys who don't mind though, so it's all in what you want to do with the car..

Yup, I run my 03 Supercharged GT about 200-300 miles a week.

As mentioned a centri charger wont see boost till higher RPM's, this is great for a DD, I rarely see boost driving around, I baby it a bit but get 225-260 miles per tank (15 gallons iirc).

I had a vortech on mine making 400whp. Drove the car like that for about a year no problems at all after I got the belt alignment right. Drove about 500 miles a week seriously. I took it to work everyday 45 minutes one way on the interstate....
