420hp Daily driver
I probably have two more HP related mods to do (Spydershaft and Blower) But the Mustang will be my D.D. is this too much power? Or will I just fall more deeply in love with my car???

The car will be fine and as long as you are not stomping on the gas all the time. You run boost only when getting on it so the car will act the same until the power is called upon.

I hope everything well be fine, I am having the ford racing fuel system, new Spec's 2+ flywheel/clutch comb, Steeda CAI, Hurst short throw shifter and a Saleen SC with the 475 upgrade kit installed (as soon as the SC shows up that is), sometime within the next week and my car is a daily driver also around 50 a day just to work and back and it is my only car.

Sounds good to me. That`s about the same set up that I plan to go with. Although I won`t be using mine as a DD. My weak little Mazda Protege is happy to do that at 36mpg.
I`ve been doing a lot of research on power adders and even though the bottom end of the 3V isn`t super strong, it does seem pretty safe with less aggressive boost levels. Say about 500 at the flywheel and 420 RWHP.
Of course you could blow it up if you try. But just make sure you win the race if you do.[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

Those results are great, every single one of the 28 people voted for "it's fine". Plus you should still get about the same mileage, I think I remeber seeing here someone who had a supercharger and still got 25ish highway mpg.
