How long does a radix supercharger usually last, and how does it affect the reliability of your truck?

so i just read through 5 pages of this stuff and no one has any dynos or anything to prove anything? ported eatons on the ford camps are pushing 430-450 rwhp and 500+ rwtq as an average on a stock head, stock cam, stock exhaust combos and i believe that the driveline loss is slightly higher for the fords (diesel trannys, huge driveshafts, and 9.75" rearends). now ofcourse change around your resrictions and you gonna make more power assuming a good tune. but i am backing up parrish 100% and believing that cfm will limit your hp potential.

also i wish that some of you folks would stop thinking psi and start thinking cfm. 6 psi on a big motor will = 12 psi on a small motor. just because you only push say 7 psi on a 408' motor doesnt mean you are going to automatically spin the blower harder and regain that psi. psi is a measurement of resistence but i guess you fellas will learn.

according to Eaton's website 100,000 mile service life.
I believe that is conservative.

would a 427 Vette making 620 rwtq @ 2000-4500 rpm with the mp112 be proof enough? The RWHP was in the high 580's, if there was a bigger TB on the car it would have made well over 590. I am just not going to get into a in depth deal here, this thread has the potential of becoming a nightmare AGAIN.

i would think even with an auto that would be well over 500rwhp. no one here is looking at stiring the pot. just curious i think.
