Dallas Fort Worth 5.0 Mustang Club - View Single Post - Stock Internals and MT82 limits, FI preference

I hope this hasn't been posted before, but as y'all have seen with other posts. I'm looking into forced induction for my 2012 5.0 with the MT82. I've been told by a few friends till they where blue in the face that my stock internals and transmission couldn't handle over 550 horse power safely. I was also told if I did I would shave significant life off of my engine and drive train. What's the truth and reality of it, because I know hundreds of people are running 600 hp cars with no problems. Last question and its just to see. Would you pick a root supercharger, centrifugal supercharger or turbo?
