Default 350 Rwhp daily drivable supercharger?

What would be the best supercharger/mods for 350 whp that is daily driveable? Whenever I buy a supercharger I am looking to keep it daily driveable without needing forged internals/block. Anybody know which route would be the best to take? I am looking for something that will not be a pain for everyday city and highway use as this will be my only car for several years and I drive a lot. Anybody know what would be the best way to go about this???? THX

id say this is possible with ANY supercharger. ive got the eaton m90 at about 320 whp and it is nothing short of driveable. i plan on having at least 450 whp daily driver by march.

How much HP are the internals/block good for stock? And I mean being driven every day both highway and city. I know basically nothing about superchargers, other than the basics of how they work. Can you adjust the amount of boost on most of them to promote better driveability?

On a 99-04GT, I would say about 420rwhp, and thats even pushin it. I hope to have over 300rwhp, but thats gonna be N/A.

Yea and thats the problem 420 is pushin it. I dont really want there to be any risk, or atleast as little as possible. You think about 370 would be totally safe?

Its all about tuning, with a good tune 370 is more then safe. Also I'd suggest going with a centrifugal style if you are real scared about the longevity of the motor. The reason I say that is because when you're just cruising under 3k RPM you wont even be seeing any boost.

370rwhp is way safe. I think around 400rwhp is pretty safe aslong as your tune is good and everything else is fine.

yea I dont think I would need/want more than 370ish. I will only be doing a little bit of racing on the strip, and the rest would be on the street where I won't need much over 300..

Well if you just want 370 or less, than you will be more than safe for daily driving and track time.
