Default Hellion Turbokit VS Saleen Stage 3

Sup guys,

I've read here and there that there are guys making between 490RWHP and 515RWHP (8psi) with a stock motor and transmission. They claimed the engine and gearbox can endure more power if it's from a turbo. Is this true because it doesnt make sense to me.

Another thing they mentioned is that a the Hellion 62mm turbokit @ 8psi only makes around 400-420RWHP if the car is automatic. This also smells like bs. I know there's a difference in drivetrain loss between a manual and automatic but it cant be this big right?

I have Borla LT's on my car right now, i take i'll have to get a new exhaust manifold if i go with the Hellion turbokit..

Last Questions:
I've seen clips on youtube of brenspeeds mustang making 424rwhp with the Saleen stage 3 kit. My goal was a daily driver tune with about ~400-425rwhp and a race tune that would put me @ ~450-460RWHP. Is this wishful thinking or is it possible with this kit and just a different tune? How does the automatic gearbox take the extra power from the S/C? Can i beat on her like i usually do or will i have to carefull with her?
