For around the 9-10k miles that I've had the blower on, and prob around 200+ passes at the track with it, I may not have as many miles as you, but you can damn well believe that my motor has gotten beat to hell a whole lot more than yours. I have no intentions of taking the blower off because my motor has been worked too hard. You'll be fine as long as you have it tuned well.

I kid you not, half of the tools that work at Jiffy Lube's around here can't even figure out how to put the right amount of oil in a car. 4 oil changes at 4 different j-lubes around here, and every one of them was a quart low after I let the car idle for 5 minutes in the parkinglot. Generally speaking, ignore anything automotive that comes out of these guys mouth, unless its something to the effect of "Do you want new wipers too?" or " Your scheduled maintenance says you should need 'X'".

Hey GT Bob
Couldn't agree with you more. Took the wife's VW Cabriolet into a iffy lube early one Saturday morning (which might have been the problem), and they put in DOUBLE the amount of oil. I just about got home before the oil expanded enough to backup into the air box (a VW design). Couldn't see the road behind me for blue smoke. Thought that the drain plug had fallen out, and I had totally cooked the motor. When I phoned my mechanic, his first words were..."what did those idiots do this time?". I think I was not the first one to be in his shop with an iffy problem.

Well I hope it works out for you i'm about to take the leap myself. I just bought upper and lower control arms for the front and rear along with steeda front and rear sway bars to help with the added power. I'm looking at the 6psi e-force, i figure 6psi will be safe with a good tune putting me around 450rwhp, might get some better tires to. Good luck to you.
