Default Supercharged C4

Looking at a low mile 2003 with a dealer installed Paxton Supercharger. Is this potential trouble or worth the extra power??

There is a pretty good potential for trouble, worth it? I don't know. Probably should post this in C5.

If the blower was installed and tuned correctly it should be very reliable especially with low boost levels below 8 psi, i have a vortech supercharger and it has not given me any trouble over the last 6 years.
