curious how many forced induction people have had for reliability and mileage driven while being forced.
Please post up your set up and how many miles yours has on it while being forced and any issues that have come up.
please give as much info as possible like how much boost,how is it driven? is it raced,what transmission? what gears?what rear differential? boost controller?turbo sizes,supercharger sizes,

Please post up!

Might want to give the sticky a look. "Stock Bottom End & Boost - Reliability List" has some general information within it which is likely to give you a good idea.

Personally, I ran 12 pounds from a 7875 on a mostly stock LS1 (241 heads, double springs, valvetrain supporting modifications) all last summer. Lifted a head early this spring, so rebuilt the top end. Still running like a beast with over 20,000 miles force-fed.

Yeah there is a sticky for that, even if most of the info is old.

I have 26K miles on my forced induction setup. Bought my car December 2011 and put a D1SC on it February 2012. I drive it a few times a week, it's a manual transmission, only hit the drag strip once every now and then since I'm more into runway and street pulls, makes 881 on e85, stock gears, stock bottom end, and I run it hard.

my 63 Belair has been forced since 08 started out a 5.3 with stock bottom end 241 ported heads ls1 intake 2002 z06 cam arp head studs,ls9 gaskets and a 4l60e and a powerdyne supercharger with 6# of boost then went to twin 56/58 and swiched to a 4l80e and a monster intercooler .been running 14# of boost on e85 i know have over 25,000 miles on it and the only thing that went wrong so far is the 4l80e broke while doing some camper racing i guess a 4,900# car plus a pop up camper racing was not the best idea i have ever had other than that I could not be happier with over 650 to the wheels i drive the car almost daily in the summer and pull a camper with it drag race it,autocross it and daily driven.
