ORIGINAL: forensicsteve

I use my mustang as a daily driver. I chose a centri because, I can drive around town all day long in lowish rpms and the boost stays at 0. So basically, it candrive as a stock GT all day if that's what you prefer.
+1 my view as well.... and if your in a race...street or strip your in the 3500+ rev range anyway where your blower makes great boost!!

+1 on the lead foot issue as well.... the boost makes your foot about 20lbs heavier

Besides all mentioned above I think you must be carefull with the extra power when driving on wet or slipperyroads specially if you turn the TC off, hitting the pedal hard while leaving a curve will send you spinning all over the place faster than it would if it was stock just as an example. In other words respect the extra HP and get to know the new capabilities of your car, and how it reacts under different conditions, common sense is always in order.
