theres probably no way to tell, it all depends on your driving habbits, i dont think your going to have a problem tho, just like anything, someone could have a stock engine and if they beat the **** outa it its not going to last as long compared to babying it, but then again ya never know , **** happens

there are some other varialbes that come into play. like what kind of Supercharged and what kind of cooler, and how many pounds of boost. and like ridethesmallbus1 said how hard you drive it. if everything is set up as it should, the motor will last.

Could last forever. The first time everything isn't 100% perfect, your stock LT1 pistons will let you know. For this reason, most stock LT1s don't last long.
