since a cam that puts 420 to the wheels gives up a lot of streetability.

I will not need to drive my TA as a DD once the APS kit goes on, but I expect to be able to without any issues.

It all depends on the tune with FI. It should drive stock until you punch it. Thats when the gas suckin begins. I just got my setup done. Those 60# injectors can really suck some gas haha.

When it's not raining I drive mine about 300 miles per week. The nice thing about (most) turbos and centris is that unless you get in it, the motor acts like a nice unblown motor around town, then when you put your foot down the rock n roll starts...

I daily drove my procharged formula to hell and back, 400mi trips didn't faze it a bit.

City driving/highway driving no issues at all. Drove it to the track beat the **** out of it and drove it back home. It was a very reliable set up.
