Has anyone used a supercharger on the 5s-fe and if so what kind of power are u getting? remember this is a daily driven car and i want to get away from the normal turbo.

Mainly, i would like a SC just because the Orange GT is built so well and i love the top end of it, i thought as a DD, a SC would be fun because of the low end power, the sweet sound, i don't want to swap, and it is something different. the other thing i am worried about is the engine. i'm on 198,500 miles on the original engine, tranny, and clutch, so i want it to last
