How long will an l67 last without the supercharger hooked up its a summer car so I was hoping it would last 6 months bone stock

I wouldn't advise running without the supercharger on an L67 for any extended period of time, or any short period of time in an RPM range that the car would expect to hit boost.

I had to limp my car home without the blower attached after a topswap becasue I threw a tensoner pulley down the track, and I had to keep it below 1/3 throttle so it wouldn't try to hit boost.

Why don't you just fix it? Even if the blower is completely gone, you're looking at what $200 for a gen3 and gaskets...

Why is the supercharger unhooked anyway?

I've known of a couple that ran this way six months or longer. Gas mileage will likely not be as good as with the charger hooked up.

I ran my last car for a few weeks without the s/c belt on. I was already having some engine trouble and having the belt off didn't seem to make much of a difference. Bill is right though. My MPG did drop a little.
