Has anybody had any regrets after supercharging?

Is this one of those trick questions?? Anyway, as soon as I push that start button, my only regret is "Why did I wait so long".

How many miles have you supercharged guys racked up on these engines? How much boost are you running?

No regrets here!!! Although, the quest for power can get costly, but it's all in good fun...thus far, 7500 miles.

1000 miles on the car, 200 miles on the blower.
Worth every penny!
Regrets: that I couldn't afford LPE's 1000+ HP F/I package.

Absoutely None ! While my Corvette is still stock. My supercharged 5.0 was my daily driver for 14 years with a paxton and then a vortech.

My only regret is not having stickier tires before the blower install! I have 15K miles with my Maggie and loved every mile! Can't imagine my c6 with out it. My buddies stock c6 gets left as if standing still. It’s amazing.-----

I have 1500 mi with the blower so far. Procharger with 527 RWHP. From 2800 rpm and up it is a beast. This is my 3td C6 and I don't know why I did not do this earlier.
