I'm up to slightly over 500hp at the crank. The GT is my daily driver and I've been running it with the DD clutch for about 3 years now.

Three years of continuous use. I honestly don't get why people are so gun-shy about supercharging their 928's with track records like that.

The supercharger was installed when the car had ~170k miles. It now has just over 245k miles I've put ~45k miles on it in the 4.5 years since I bought it. IMO adding ~200hp to a 928 updates them to a supercar of this century, and if tuned properly, is just as reliable as stock.

With a stage 1 kit, no worries with the stock clutch. Just get the car running 100% with no issues before the install. Have had mine on the car since 2004, will never have a stock one again.

I had to upgrade my single disk clutch when upgrading to 295/30/18 rears, that was at 10ish psi with the intercooler.
