Couple things here to keep in mind,Good and bad

Good-Supercharge system makes less torque, abrupt torque is what is relay hard on the engine, so having the linear power and torque curve is easier on the engine then a TT set up

Bad- The engine on a supercharger will always work harder to get the same power then a TT set up .

500 + RWHP on a super charger is a lot of power for sure but there is couple things that you can do to minimize the tear and wear like running a larger pulley and not redlining the engine all the time .
