reliability as daily driver with s/c
got a new saleen supercharger(brenspeed stage 3)making around 500 flywheel horsepower. What kind of reliability are you guys seeing? Are you having to replace parts(clutch,motor, driveline, etc.)? If so at about how many miles, and how often are you smashing the peddle?
This thing runs great, but man that is alot of wonderful power, just hoping it holds up.

RE: reliability as daily driver with s/c
congrats Briscoe on the new s/c.
i think your setup is going to hold up,
for a very long time.
i smash the pedal on a routine basis, that's
why i have my s/c.

RE: reliability as daily driver with s/c
I mash the peddle everytime I'm out and have'nt had any issues. Of course I no longer have 1st or 2nd gear that is usable. I'm working on getting some bigger tires. Already have the lca's and brackets, along with the adj.uca. My theory on this is once I start hooking up then I'll probably start experiencing some breakage and wear and tear. Not necessarily the motor but the clutch, tranny, rearend, and driveshaft possibly. Basically my car is strictly a daily driver and street sleeper. Crazy power, and a great set-up by Brenspeed, congratulations on joining the boost club.

Not to sound short, but if you keep you foot out of it (good luck with that) it drive very similiar to stock, I have not had any problems except for the damn after market shifters.

Bite the bullet and buy the damn MGW, you'll kick yourself in the *** for not doing it in the first place. You will be an MGW salesman, especially since you've already tried a couple of the others. Knotchy is not what I wanted.

RE: reliability as daily driver with s/c
Sounds like I should quit worrying, it just makes such great power that it seams like something should break. Plus brenspeed warned me that it was a lot of power and that I was pushing the limit for stock motor and parts. Man it puts a huge smile on my face when I drop the hammer
Has anybody had some problems? Also wonder if my factory warranty would cover any problems if they did come up?
