I did put high flow cat’s on it to cool the side sills down, but it wasn’t necessary. The guy who bought the car from me now has around 50K miles on it. The factory stock clutch is on its last leg, but otherwise he tell me the car still runs fine. Proper preventative maintenance goes a long ways on these cars. I’ll also add that I was only pushing like 5-6psi or whatever the Paxton kit produces. It made around 680whp. I’ve been told that over 700whp is a time bomb since the engine doesn’t have forged internals. Moral of the story, don’t be afraid of a supercharged car if it’s done right.
