I'll address the second part of your post by saying that I went from sport cup 2's which - ran like crap on the street - sport cup 4's - which are a dream.
And I required a four-wheel alignment and I run nitrogen at 34 lb of pressure - and it works out perfect
As far as forced air induction goes. I bought a 2016 GT350 4 previous owners 39,000 miles.
And I blew my motor 1500 miles later.
So the takeaway is - even with a 2 owner car - let's say 20,000 miles - I believe in stock trim - it would in fact be a ticking time bomb...
So I am building a new motor basically from the ground up. And we're not talking about a rebuild. And we're using high-end aftermarket parts. And so my internals will be much stronger than the stock Shelby GT350 engine ever was...
Now is the perfect time for a Supercharger.
So in my case since my Shelby is a "high winder" anyway - I don't mind a little lag in the beginning of the curve. And at 4,000 RPM and up to 8,250 RPM - my Pro charger will be a screamer
2016 GT 350.
Putting a Procharger P1 SC on a new build 5.2L Voodoo. Only parts on original blown motor used are crankshaft, both heads, original 4 cams. Everything else new from the bottom up.

So the takeaway is you got to have Deep Pockets when they use forced air induction - if you're putting it on a moderately used engine. And with any kind of boost you could conceivably cook that well done! So better off to drop 25k and start with a new upgraded motor for the increased reliability and peace of mind....
