well I dont know much about newer mustang motors, but i belive that some things are forged but i dont know what? and if i get a supercharger what will i have to get forged or worked on? and i dont wanna blow any gaskets either so what will i have to change? thanks :D

A forged motor will not survive a bad tune.
The stock internals will take 12# of boost for many years with a good tune.
Just stay away from the detonation monster and all will be fine.

I am running 14psi on my stock motor. But I have an awesome tune from EDGE products. If you decide to go with the KB 9psi kit (just enough to pummel stock vette's), you will get about 400RWHP and the tune they send will keep you nice and safe.


And yet again, Try not to romp on it at every lite. =) ENJOY
 
9#'s boost, good KB tune and have survived the lasy 9K miles with my KB blower and 443rwhp. Oh, and I now have 66K miles total on the car.

A good tune and moderate boost levels is the key. I don't know about 12#'s boost though. I've heard 11 is absolute tops.
 
I would keep it under 10 lbs intercooled , 8 lbs not intercooled 400 to 420 rwhp is about as much as you wanna put on stock bottom end . Im shooting for about 405-415 rwhp once I get an intercooler and some other goodies with my vortech and about 10 lbs of boost
