nothing wrong with as a DD, but you have a constant parasitic load on the motor so you gas mileage is horrible around town. Esp with small pulleys/big cogs.

I daily drive mine. The mental approach is not stock at all. If I hear a different sound, I start to wonder if somethings going wrong, at which point i'm looking at the blower, under the car, at the belts, etc. This can be an often occurrence, since the vortech is loud in general.

I haven't had any issues, but modding anything carries a higher risk.
