I am thinking about throwing on a supercharger on my 5.0, it is stock, how much boost do you think it could handle, it’s got about 150k miles on it as well.

With a good tune it'll easily handle up to 12psi. I've been running 11psi on my stock engine now for about 3 years or more. Stock E7 heads, stock head bolts, stock 31 y/o head gaskets, stock cam, etc. I make 365rwhp/396rwtq. Do it!!!
