I am thinking of buying it from my friend, but I want to know how well the svt v6 responds to forced air induction,is the engine built like a tank or will it throw rods with a supercharger (10+lbs), and does the performance generated by an sc make it worth doing.

It is almost imposible to find anything on the web about upgrading the contour svt...I called up svt directly and they had no clue as to what the engine could handle. And also I know how much of a ***** it can be to answer ignorant questions, but when answers can not be found this is my last resort.
