First time post What if anything can you do (aftermarket) to strengthen the internals of the 05-06-07 stang and is it practical?

I read and article in last months 5.0 mag April addition page 74, they had taken and 06 stang and put a new magnacharger made by Eaton, on it and flashed the computer the meet the changes. They claim that by doing this, they were able to take the stock powerbase from 283rwhp and 296 torque to 409rwhp and 401 torque.

Question: How are the internals of this going to hold up long tern and what other changes would have to be made to make the 05-06-07 stang comparable to the 03-04 cobra. Or is this even possible?

Please share your thoughts on this.
If I were to replace the rods, pistons and crank with forged equipment, this would give an engine that would be somewhat of the same category as the 03-04 cobra, right, (as far as strength)?

What would be the proper cams to replace the factory cams with?

Also would the motor be strong enough to with stand putting a Kenne Bell on it?

From what I have read you are fairly safe up to 450rwhp, so most of the superchargers are safe enough. I think Procharger claims they can squeeze out600 hp (at the crank), so with something like that you might want to consider a tougher bottom end.

As far as cams and parts go, I wouldn't ask here (not that there aren't people who know what they're doing)...but I would call a tuner like Brenspeed and ask them what they recommend. These cars are not a hobby for them....they are professionals who can answer your every question.

On top of that, they are very friendly and their prices are great.
