Has there been any reliability problems with this on the stock engine? I'm really just looking for some more low-mid range torque where I don't have to worry about *any* reliability issues (mostly worried about blown engine/trans). I'm fine with running the ~260 whp even. I'm just not sold this thing will last 100k+ miles - especially since I have a '13 motor, and I've heard lots of nightmares about spun bearings/thrown rods (both N/A and F/I).

The engine is more of the weak link than the supercharger itself. Whether you have boost or not, the engine will let go whenever it wants to let go. As for the transmission, you're limited by torque, not horsepower. At these torque levels and how it rolls on, you'll be fine. Turbo is a different story.
