pretty much anything you do to an engine to get a substantial gain in power will increase wear parts like these....what engine do you have? I know they make one for the v6 in my truck, the only bad side I see to it is the $3500 price tag uninstalled....but 100 extra horsepower sounds nice...

Adding a supercharger won't noticeably shorten the life of your engine unless you drive like a maniac.

The Lightning and Harley use the identical engine save the lower compression, forged pistons.

Go to "Got Pressure" all of the members are supercharged, read, read, read.

They also have special 4R100 trannys with Powerstroke guts to hold up to the added torque.
I don't know how long a 4R70W will hold up behind 380lf/ft of torque plus!!
