I love mine!!! It's actually pretty loud for a centri. Kinda like a semi truck when taking off from a redlight with the high pitched whistle and you can definately hear the air being forced in too. My gas mileage hasn't suffered much at all under normal driving. I wouldn't care if it did. My s/c was, hands down, the best $5k I have ever spent. Built bottom end and 12 psi + nitrous are coming by fall. I can't wait. I am not too worried about something breaking, that'll be my excuse to get my shortblock sooner plus it's not my DD. I think my rearend will break before anything in the motor does. I race it at the track more than I drive it around town it seems.

my gas mileage is awesome and i wouldnt give up the supercharger for ANYTHING..... no real break downs and tickets are always a problem

It doesn't really matter where you are at with mods on your car because regardless of what you do with it you are always looking forward to the next mod. While a blower takes some time to save up for it is a significant jump in performance. I've had mine for almost 10 months now, 14,000 miles, a few severe snow storms, and a lot of other bad weather and it has served me well as a daily driver. Of course I've been trying to figure out what my next mod is or whether I should wait and do all of the things I want that require a retune at one time. ****, I haven't even done gears yet so maybe that's next. It's a totally different experience and well worth the wait to save up for...KB's sound nice and a twin screw would be fun as hell but I've always considered the twin screws for weekend warriors and centris for daily drivers. I'm still saving up for a second stang for the weekends and you better believe it's getting a twin screw once I get it. But for a daily driver, all of the aspects you asked about aren't a whole lot different from stock unless you want it to be - they call it a loud pedal for a reason.

A centri I heard helps with gas milage during normal driving because it acts like an "air tumbler" or a super big "tornado"

Have not seen the dyno yet. I am comfortable with the K/B tune. I also watch the wideband and fuel pressure but will put it on a dyno this summer.

There is simply no downside to FI, other than the decreased MPG in city driving. I have seen single digits while romping on it.

So far as highway driving, it acutally gets better MPG than before (about 1.5 more), but only if you take it easy.

The only thing I would do differently about my blower setup is to have gotten it earlyer. Nothing boltons wise could hold a candle to the power difference (or difference in the car). Getting on it for the first time was a truly eye opening experence. Nothing like adding 140 WHP to the car with a single (though expensive mod).

The only downside to starting off right away with a blower is that you must get it retuned every time you add more boltons/parts. This simply means instead of adding a catback here and a midpipe there, you must save up your money and do things in large stages. IMO this is the way to go anyway, as you get to feel bigger differences in the car, and with the retunes its always making as much as it can with the set mods you have.

I agree my car was never intended to be a daily driver but I was suprised how well the car runs during normal driving. You can't tell its there till you get on it.

wow, thanks for all the input guys, I am going to be saving for this one for a while but it seems to me like it's totally worth it. Thanks for your time everyone I'll be joining you soon enough with the FI experience
