Default Supercharger

Hey everyone this is my first time on the forums so go easy on me for the questions lol, I have a 1998 trans am with long tube headers, Texas speed exhaust, cold air intake and computer tune, everything else stock with a 2300-2500 stall converter. I am looking to supercharge it, would a bigger fuel injection system with bigger injector tips and a rebolted rear end be all it took for around 600whp with the supercharger

Magnuson kits come WITH fuel injectors ( in my case, they were Delphi 8.1 Marine injectors )
Yes, you'll shatter your rear axle if you have good traction and a hard launch.

I seriously question reaching 600whp on a stock LS1 with the supercharger and even if you succeed how reliable is it going to be? You will most certainly find the missing link sooner than later if you're hard on the car.
