I'm working on my good half real hard for a Kenne Bell Big Bore SC. My only concern is my '08 GT is my daily driver. I have no experience with long term SC reliability. Anyone have experience to share? How many miles can one expect before it requires some rework for positive case sealing... or whatever?

I don't plan to squeeze everything I can out of itl probably 9-10 lbs of boost. I was going to buy a Corvette, but I still have a child at home and really needed back seats. I want to put the Mustang well beyond the reach of any but heavily modified Corvettes.

I just did a Whipple HO in my '07 GT. It's really nice to have 500 HP on tap but be prepared for significantly higher fuel bills if it's your daily driver.

I have a Whipple--I put it on in April of 2007, so far 13,400 miles on it and 118 passes at the track, no problems yet.

Whipple for me too , installed in december 2007 , no issues at all .
I made about 8 k miles , along with some trackdays .
Fuel consumption increased 17 / 20 %

.. but the car is fantastic

I have the roush supercharger. Comming up on 60,000 miles. No problems with it at all. Mine is a daily driver also. I have 4:10's. That helps also.
