Hey guys, I haven’t been on in a while as other projects were a priority but I thought I would offer my opinions.

I have now had my Supercharger for around 3 years and have managed to put 85,000 + miles on it. I have driven in every type of conditions imaginable from Living in Aspen to Working in Yuma and Spending way too much time in LA. My mileage has been 65% highway with rest in heavy urban environments.

I have owned a wide range of all motor and F/I vehicles. ranging from 360 AWHP Scooby’s to a 450+ RWHP Z's and numerous all motor lead sleds. This however was my first modified truck.

Impressions
As has been said the only thing better than power is more of it and the s/c has definitely delivered. The truck has a fairly linear torque curve with good power available from 1800 to 4500 rpm. The superman appeal of going from tire melting head jerking power to mild mannered truck is nice.

Issues
I have read some of the other threads about the issues some have experienced and I feel for these guys; I was very concerned that I would have the same. But I can honestly say that I have not had one real problem, since the installation issues were worked out. The Stillen kit has been excellent and in my opinion was well designed.

Opinions
Modifying any car is not for the faint of heart, adding aftermarket forced induction doubly so. This vehicle however, has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. The truck, the s/c and all other components have operated flawlessly. Maybe I am lucky but I believe it more to be an issue of good installs, good maintenance, and driving it like a truck; I don’t mean to imply anyone else problems were due to these things. I feel that it was good investment and that It has been a good return for the money.

The truck is getting older and she is being replaced by a plug-in hybrid (the irony is not lost on me). I am planning on pushing the limits this winter and seeing what she can really do, therefore any ideas would be much appreciated.
