Default 5.0 + Supercharger= 700 HP?

I have a single cab 5.0 and would like to buy a Roushcharger. I found one that says "capable of producing 700 horsepower" and I was wondering what else would I need to reach 700 horsepower.
http://www.roushperformance.com/part...2011-2012.html

Does anyone here have a 5.0 F150 supercharge?
Thanks

with that blower you can make that much power considering you have a built block but i dont think the internals of the stock block would hold very long if you tried to make that kind of power, i herd JLP got a truck up to 14lbs of boost on the stock block and it didnt hold to long on the stock internals

If this truck takes you to work on a Daily basis 700hp would be a mistake, 500 to the wheels would be more dependable and no need for race fuel.

That has to be pretty sick. Do you have a link to that? Thanks

Ahh I wasn't thinking of that. Stage 2 Roushcharger is $6,000 and only gives you a 100 extra RWHP, to me that's a bit too expensive just for 100 horses.

Yep to get to 700hp reliably you would need new internals and for sure a set of red valve covers.

And how much horsepower does the supercharger rob to give you that 100

The Roush package tune is garbage.

JLP has put out some 580rwhp trucks with no internal modifications. The 5.0 has hyper pistons so it can handle a decent amount of boost if tuned properly. Lots of 'regular' Mustangs are boosted over 700hp and the shortblocks are the same as the F150. It's all in the tune.
