Default increasing horsepower
I got a 2010 mustang gt. I've been looking in to super chargers and turbo chargers but everywhere i look says they decrease your engine life. What would be the best way to increase my horsepower without decreasing my engine life?

Thanks for your suggestions

Welcome to the forum! There are definitely mods that you can do that won't significantly decrease engine life. Shoot me a PM if you'd like and we can discuss it.

Superchargers and turbos require proper tuning. Running a reasonable amount of boost with a proper tune and your engine worries are quite minimal.
