VF Supercharger
Has anyone gone with a VF supercharger on their 996? I know the lambo guys really like them.

Are they glass, or does the platform just let you run them to the death? The biggest factor I see in blown motors is owners trying to make them something they're not (ex. relying on OEM IMSb, tracking all day & running them too hot for too long, etc.). The stories of regular use-inspired issues like Cuda's motor seem relatively rare.

Supercharging small-block chebbies and other huge-displacement, low-power, cheaper-n-dirt engines makes more sense than supercharging costlier-than-dirt small-displacement motors with questionable tolerance for more HP/L/compression using factory internals.
I can slap a supercharger on my Corvette, screw up the fueling upgrades, and lean it out under boost with catastrophic results...let's see, carry the one, add the 7...about 9 times for what it would cost to blow and pop the 996 once.

Before I got my 996 I remember seeing a car locally that had one that was for sale....I have to say it looks like a pretty well done kit. I don't think it's going to cause the IMS bearing to carry any extra load, I don't see how it could really add to the normal modes of failure, heck, you would just get through the corners at tracks faster with less oil starvation!!!
