Given adequate lubrication the weakest link is the pistons. The crank should be good though.

I've seen 6, but Hot Rod did over 1k with the compression rings opened a little.

Go on the Forced Induction forum here. You will see - it is all about goals planning and tuning. Run lean at 475hp and goodbye. I have had my ProCharger setup for years and runs great....

If you have 500 at the wheels currently I would think it's a pretty high strung high compression engine. Tossing a supercharger on top of that and spinning it to some 10+psi to achieve 700 at the wheels is going to shitshow on the stock components.

If you have a low compression LQ4 then that's a different story, but I doubt that think would get 500 at the wheels easily.
