I have a 2001 mustang gt all stock engine with close to 100xxx miles and I want to add a V-3 vortech supercharger system but I don't know if it would destroy my engine or if I could hold together

If you motor is in good condition and sensors are working, then adding a well set up supercharger isn't in itself going to "hurt" your motor.

However, a poorly installed/set up super charger (think over boost or too little octane) can destroy even the most solidly built motor.

Burns is correct, if the engine has no prior issues, you should be golden. You might wanna do compression and overall diagnostics test to see how much is taken from or given to the engine.
