Default Stillen Supercharger reliabiity

Please excuse if this thread already exists and point me in that direction.
My purpose here is to create a thread dedicated to the Stillen Supercharger in the 370Z and the G37.
Additionally my focus is daily driveability. I am not a track star, and will likely take my Z to the track at most once a year. I am looking to create a Z that is much more powerful than stock, and yet looks stock and drives as reliably as stock.
I am dropping off my 2013 370Z sport touring with NISMO exhaust (and currently 1800 miles) at IPS motorsports in Delaware Ohio today. The Stillen SC (and oil cooler) should be installed and tuned by Wednesday evening. I will have it dyno'd pre-install for comparison as well. Was going to have the dealership install but as they will not put UpRev software on their Nissan computers it just got too complicated.
As I understand it I will not be able to do a post install dyno run for at least 2500 miles (and until after the first lubricating fluid change) to allow for break in.
I hope others with Stillen and other superchargers will post here specifically regarding reliability and daily driveability.
