Almost every single person that has attempted this (Supercharger and twins) have had some kind of catastrophic failure.
G37 with supercharger medium boost; blown engine.
G37 with twins; in the shop 80% of the time.
370Z with twins; blew on the dyno.
G35 with spray; another roasted engine.
I love the guys to death but they're delusional for the most part on this topic.
IIRC the MY 18 mustang has been bumped to a compression ratio of 12 so this will be interesting on the boost camp. I'd imagine E85 will be the savior but that's depending on the reliability of the supply. But at the end of the day once you starts throwing in mods and F/I into this topic. It's a question of who has the bigger pockets, the engine itself barely matters after that.

They already have a blower system being set up for it. I'm not sure how it will handle DFI with all that compression and on boost but I would not want to be the tester for that. I also wonder if DFI engines will have limits to the amount of boost and HP they can make. I wonder because I noticed that Dodge chose to stay away from DFI in the HC and Demon.

If you want heated/cooled (ventilated) seats, heated steering wheel, blind spot warnings, navigation, rear cameras, smart key tech, auto start, adaptive CC, subwoofers, ambient lighting, and all the other stuff that some of these cars come with, then you're gonna add weight. My 03 GT was very light in comparison. But looking back on it, that thing had no options. Even the premiums had no options really. I'll take the extra weight if it gives me cool gadgets to play with and keeps my butt warm/cool, lol!!

The M6 6th Gen SS has always been in the 12.4-12.6 range. That is nothing new and not a ringer. The A8 has always been faster. The same will hold true for the GT. The A10 should be able to tick off a slightly faster time. It gained 25 hp and 20 tq over the Gen 2 Coyote as well as the A10 trans. A good 4 tenths drop should have been expected.
