I've owned 3 types of FI: Saleen Series II Eaton M90, Procharger P-1SC and twin Precision Kit; all on an SN-95 new edge during it's progression. For a daily, I would recommend a centri.
1) The power is more linear and easier to control.
2) IATs will be lower in traffic heat
3) Installation and maintenance is easiest of the 3
Your engine will last as long as it was originally designed to as long as you don't push it to the power limit, maintain it well, and don't rag it out. If you get deep into the boost every time you go out it'll be like beating on an N/A motor and going WOT every chance you get. Nothing will last nearly as long under those conditions.
Lastly, for the love of everything Mustang and your health: If you've never owned a power adder car keep the boost low until you get used to it, stepping the boost up as you're comfortable. If not, it's a surefire way to end up hurt, your new Mustang totaled and posting up on here that your investment just went down the drain.

As many people have said the key to longevity with FI on the Coyote motored cars is all in the tune; no matter if you run a centri, a positive displacement unit, or a turbo.

The centri units for the 2015 are definitely the best bang for the buck from what we've seen so far. They are at least $1000-$1500 cheaper than any other form of forced induction.

That's the way it's been for the last 4 years and I don't see it changing any time soon

Does anyone have dyno graphs with HP any TQ for Whipple, Procharger, and Vortech? It would be cool to be able to see what all the numbers are compare the numbers and look at the torque curves of each supercharger with the manufacturers tune.
Take those "graphs" with a grain of salt.
Since a lot of stuff can change in a tune/boost/timing level to make graphs differ. Dyno numbers only tell half the story. :)

Whats awesome about these new 2015's are the revised intake and camshafts. The amount of low end grunt is very impressive compared to previously. Adding a ProCharger on top of what Ford has already given us all, instantly makes you want to go by a set of sticky tires. :)

Agree on the tuning, and the "bang for the buck" :)

Just ordered one of those fancy electric superchargers. Jk. Just ordered a procharger stageII kit from MAK. I also ordered a bunch of stuff to help get rid of the wicked wheel hop. Can't wait for my new toys to get here!

What all did you order to help against the wheel hop?

There isn't much available yet to get rid of wheel hop. Lowering springs don't really do the trick. A combo of lowering springs, stiffer bushings will help. I'd personally wait till BMR comes out with their stuff.

Ha, well now your ready to rock and roll. :)

I personally have the i-1 procharger on my truck, and half the people that look at it think its "electric" when they hear it change modes. LOL.

I got solid rear diff to subframe and subframe to body bushings. I also got some beefier half shafts from FRPP. I really hope that helps out. It worked pretty good on my 5th gen SS Camaro.

As someone who turbo's about everything, if I had intentions to only keep the stock engine for long lasting miles, mostly stock drivetrain, DD I would probably go with a centri unit with a "tq booster". Pulley it to the max speed of the unit, and adjust boost as needed.

I though...would still go against my advice and go turbo. Mainly because I like quite cars that aren't noisy.

I have yet to own a centri-blown car, and my '15 might be the guinea pig.

My personal experience is that Roots-blown cars tend to just want to blow the tires off the instant you stand on it, versus the more gradual hit of a centri. For my intended use as a road car I think the centri would be the ticket.

If I do it, a ProCharger will get the nod.
Sweet, you will enjoy being part of the #prochargerArmy

There are a few of those that do it. :)
