FI daily?

So I have an opportunity to go FI with a Procharger setup and one of the things holding me back is whether or not I can daily it at an average of 15k-20k miles a year. I'm just wondering if its a waiting game until something pops? Or should I be expecting it to last as long as a stock engine?

Anyone with some/any experience in this please chime in.

Thank you!

Dit it on my 4thGen Vortec LT4 ...had over 100K and still running strong, I don't know if you still need to change plugs out at 10-12K miles but I did....

Just service it like the instruction say and you'll be good to go. I know several guys who DD Monday - Friday and race on the weekends that have several 1000's miles on their set up.

I'm going to say it is all on how you drive the car. If the engine has a forced induction system installed it will be able to put a lot more stress on your parts. I still expect that you could drive the car 100,000 miles with normal maintenance. It is the same whether or not you have forced induction, if you drive the car hard it will have more problems in the long run than it will if you are conservative with the throttle.
