How will supercharging engine affect the long term reliability and life span of the engine? Assuming the boost is kept around 8-9 PSI.

A lot would depend on how it is driven and if the engine has the components to take the extra stress.

Stock 5.4L 3V F150 motor driven like a Jalop that has no regard for the environment and barely any regard for the law.

I really can't tell you the answer. I would consult a hot rod shop to get concrete answers.

Ok. I was just looking for opinions.

Do you know the current compression ratio? Are there any shops specializing in your vehicle/engine that you could call? Specific forums? Short answer is probably pretty negatively. The engine wasn't made for the extra stress.

My opinion is, because it is a truck engine, it should be suitably heavy duty enough to take some mild boost.

The compression ratio is 9.8:1, and the reason I ask is to get as many opinions as possible. There are several "bolt-on" superchargers available for this application. It's for a 2010 F150.
