Looking to bulletproof 2018 5.3 & dropping a supercharger.

650 RWHP will be tough without adding a blower cam. Bullet proof will be tough without forging the motor. You forge your internals, and the power will look for your weak link in the rest of the drive train. You want to double the power level the drive train was designed for and parts will fail.
There's a shop in south NJ in cream ridge. The shop is EastCoast Superchargers. They have been adding superchargers on the LS series engines since they came out in 1997. ECS will give you the good , bad, and ugly what will work and what wont. Expect parts to break.
Doug and Chris are the owners. Good racing people with a good business model. Tell them I sent you.
You dont want to go to a shop that I call a "YouTube shop". It a shop that will tell you what you want to hear, and max out your vehicle only to make a YouTube video from your vehicle and it blows up a week later. They wont care because they will make far more off the video clicks than your build.
Best of luck,
Phil

I'm running stock bottom end with minor head upgrades, great exhaust and lots of boost. Just have to use common sense when driving, well most of the time...
I learned most important part for reliability, especially on boosted applications is tuning. Tuning isn't there motor will perform badly or simply explode...
