Default daily driver with a Maggie

I've got a 09 crew cab Z71 and am wondering how a Magnacharger would be on a daily driver. about what kind of milage would i expect and about how many miles will you get out of a motor? Knowing what i know now, i would have bought a 6.2 or at least the 6.0.....yeh the 6.2( got a G8 with the 6.0). At the time i bought my truck, you had to get a Denali to get into the 6.2 and i want a full front seat and no leather or chrome so rather than loose my *** in a ordered truck and trade in my current, i think im convinced on a supercharger.

It will make a great daily. Mileage should stay around the same I'm guessing if you keep foot out of it

I'm doing it now but not for sure yet on mileage. I have a pretty healthy cam, stall, and it is hard to stay out of it.
