I would say once or twice daily. It depends on traffic and my mood. I've noticed it is getting harder and harder to do as power and noise levels keep rising.

It all depends...One day I could redline it probably 3 times a day, one day I will drive normal. Lately I've been very caring and loving

Use t-clamps or they have high boost clamps. Also i use mine as a DD and I try to conserve gas mileage. If your at redline all the time your gas mileage will suffer badly.
