[QUOTE="JGDogg10, post: 16605798, member: 140380"] I had my Mach 1 supercharged for about 20k miles (a little over 2 years) because I wasn’t drivibg it everyday, it was on 12lbs of boost making around 460 to the wheels. Put a pair of drag radials on it and the tranny did indeed go before the motor did. But after building the tranny, the motor went not too long after. I drove the hell out of that car every time I was in it, and that was the problem. The benefit of a centri setup is you don’t ever have to be in boost if you don’t want to. You can drive to work or the store and not put a pound of boost through the motor. It’s all based on throttle position and rpm. It sounds boring (and that’s why I drove the hell outta mine when I did drive) but it’s definitely possible to enjoy the car for a while until you do build the motor. But in my opinion, it WILL eventually break. The Mach ran a little higher compression ratio than the cobra, but my feelings are still the same in the long run. Just enjoy the car, we build them for that reason, but just keep in mind that something might happen, and try not to be too surprised if it does. [/QUOTE]
