Default Is a blower recommended for a daily driver?

Guys, after getting a taste of a sc'd car I'm really considering going Vortech. Was just wondering if you guys with blowers recommend having one on a daily driven car.......reliability wise. I cannot afford a blown engine or haveing it out of commission for extended periods of time. Just to give you an idea, I have almost 24k miles and my car is around 10 months old.

i think it just all depends on how you drive the car. if you beat on it the drive train is the first to go. hell i had the vortech for a few weeks and i managed to bust a diffy and cv joint. if you baby the car a lot you will be fine. but if you drive like a mad man get the wallet ready... been driving duc's car lately or what? lol...

If you keep it stock, you won't have to worry about such things.

Dario is a grandpa geezer. He sees himself as the "voice of reason" when people plan to do things he regards as "imprudent". He is one of those people who bought this car because it CAN be fast, and CAN handle well, but he claims to "never exceed the speed limit" and not drive quickly on public roads.

He's just a gonad scratching grandpa, ignore him.

And I suppose you are a young ignorant puck who knows everything inspite of good advice fromus granpa geezers. I've spit out punks like you my whole life so put a lid on it. Your quote about why I bought the S is really laughable. I have gone fast in it. Only 115 MPH, but that's a start in your book right? In fact, go out and have a street race and slam into something to prove me right. At least I have the gonads to stand up and say what I believe. All you can do is ridicule me. Now that's a real man.
