Anyone with a supercharged SRT-8 as a daily driver?

[JMatt]

Will someone here please prove me wrong, and post their Supercharged SRT-8, used as a daily driver?

Who will be the winner?

Requirements:

1) Car has been supercharged for at least 6 months.
2) Car has at least 3,000 supercharged miles.
3) Car has a drag slip showing it's performance sometime after install.
4) Car has a backup timeslip at least 3 months later.

Will someone please prove me wrong and show that this has been done successfully with a stock motor SRT-8? (i.e. as the "kits" come complete, but without new fuel management/pistons/rods/crank/etc)

If no one can do it yet, who will be the first?

Personally, the 425 hp does me fine as a daily driver and I put 30k+ miles a year on my cars since they are company cars but if I were to have a supercharged unit I'm pretty sure, no I am confident I would be in jail right now!!!!

Besides, I have heard nothing but horror stories on the superchargers and definitely not for daily driving...

IMHO

Blessed thee that goes there though! I'd visit them in jail if needed LMAO!

I believe Anthony, Udluuz, would fall in to most, if not all of your requirments.
GSM setup, stock shortblock, including stock cam, and stock converter.
He had P&P heads when he ran his 11.51 @ 122, witnessed by many at Sacramento. I only saw his 12.24 with street tires, 22's even, that evening, as I left early. DA was about 1000 that night.

He's ran 11.7'ss since, with higher DA, has a new converter, and now has the with fear of halfshaft breakage.

Still the quickest 1/4 by any LX'er I'm aware of. That was in October.

Remember, this forum and probably any kind of LX info site online is just a fraction of LX owners.

If they read their owners manual, its states on Page 1,258 that no mods (including s/c) are allowed w/o the express written consent of 3CF or LXF. Oh, and on page 1,259 it also says no mod is complete w/o pictures posted on 3CF of LXF. hehe

I did think of him. Is his car still running with the GSM? Does he use it as a daily driver - i.e., has it actually survived the rigors of day to day traffic?

I think the most important factor is durablility using it as a DAILY DRIVER. I will probably never get to race on a strip, but I do have my CSRT as my daily driver and drive it 95% of the time. I get groceries with it (yes I park way out in walmarts lot), I christmas shop, etc. with this car. Having great 1/4 mile times means only so much to me.

I agree. My time slip request is based on the fact that most people spending big bucks to add 150 hp to an already fast car, are doing so to flog it occassionally, and most would choose to run it down the strip to verify results. I want to see someone really putting the SC to the test, but then also actually using it as their daily driver.

To contrast with people's SC reports, Jeremy at PPP is driving a 426 stroker hemi with different crank/pistons/rods/cam/torque converter, injectors, etc. AND he uses it as a daily driver. Reliable as heck, HP of an SC car.

I stand by my challenge. If Ud Luuuz can meet it, someone get him to post his story. With all the SC's GSM has allegedly sold, where are they? (yes - not everyone posts here, but nearly 10% of all SRT-8's sold have been here at one time or another. I'm guessing 20% of all people in the market for mods like superchargers have found forums like this or lxf, or one of the others, yet we only have even one POTENTIAL candidate for successful SC install?
