I think modifry has 160K with a Comptech. It's as reliable as long as the car is maintained and driven responsibly.

My car came with 30,000 Vortec supercharged miles on it. Seems to be pretty reliable.

Reading all the stock differential negitivity has left me afraid to launch the car hard. From what I've been reading it sounds like as long as the tires can break loose during the launch it should be okay.

Stock boost + maintenance + smart driving (cool down) = long life. I have a 2005, did the install myself, and upgraded the clutch myself. It was absolutely painless after install - I did the research and the SC had great reliability. I would recommend doing the install yourself if you are slightly mechanical, so basic things like spark plug changes (more frequent) and belt adjustment can be done by your vs. messed up by a mechanic.

SlowS2K - is that P38 in you avatar Glacier Gal? Nice plane...

Glacier Gal was a early P-38F, The one in my Avatar is a P-38J at NASM, that was flown by Richard Bong, highest scoring american Ace of the war.
