My blower has been on my car since Nov 2009. About 6500 miles. No issues, all fun.

I agree with everyone else.. The most important thing though is the tune.... You can have 6 miles on your engine and get a bad tune and kaboom! GL!

not trying to threadjack OP, but to 808 muscle..... why did you choose the RoushM90? I heard the Kenne Bell 2.8 mammoth was the way to go?

he prob went with the roush, because it puts it in the safest hp lvl, its a very safe blower for you stock motor, i plan on going built so i want something that has more potential, i was going to go the roush route but the turbo route is cheaper than that with more room to grow
