Default Daily Driver?

I might have to be forced to use my car as a daily driver when I get back from my deployment. Do you guys think this would be ok or is it a must to get another means of transportation. I'll be runnin about 12psi on my kit

Dan Millen drove his 6 second car to Burger King. If you can't daily drive a 347 with a small turbo around(especially with that 4L60), you have serious car related issues that need to be checked. I'd drive a car like that EVERYWHERE.

I DD my car about 1,000 miles a month. Over 7k miles on my twin kit with no problems. It's not like you are always in boost either. Just leaving the lights or on the highway if someone wants to play.

Decent tune and you'll be fine for DD. See you have meth...., but do you have a FMIC too? If not I'd suggest that for DD duties to keep intake temps under control during "non-highway" driving.

Also, I have 2 different filter I use on my STS. One is an AEM DryFlo for nice weather....the other is a cheap import filter with an aluminum splash guard built around the filter housing for wet weather (they sell them at the chain auto parts stores.) Takes all of 30 seconds to swap from one to the other.
