Just to wet your appetite.... 
"Ford has made no secret of the fact that the engine and drivetrain are over-engineered in anticipation of tuners wishing to get more from their cars. Therefore, you shouldn't have too many problems if you install a Vortec V2S or Saleen Series VI twin-screw supercharger and an intercooler. Adding a supercharger won't be cheap, but it should boost your total power output to around 400 hp. Ford will offer a similar bolt-on supercharger soon, which can be dealer installed if you'd like to have more power without sacrificing your warranty. If you'd prefer to do-it-yourself, Ford will stick a supercharged, four-valve, 5.0-liter 'Cammer' V-8 in the mail for you, complete with full installation instructions for around $15,000. The kit even includes plug-and-play electronics so there's no need to spend weeks calibrating the thing once it's fitted. The 420-hp engine is actually a competition unit so it should be both robust and reliable, as well as tuner-friendly. And it'll be easy to replace if you blow it up."

I'll admit I'm skeptical, but it does suggest some interesting possibilities....

If you read mm&ff they have mentioned this as well... It will be an eaton similar to the cobra. It will be offered through frpp but I don't know about the warranty. It will only offer 6 pounds i believe ... Frpp does offer one for 99-04 gt but no warranty

Yeah warranty's the big "if" isn't it? I'll say one thing, if two sources (TCC and MM&FF) are now talking of factory blowers with about 400 bhp, then we can confidently call
on the old "the 05 can't handle ANY boost" rumors...I for one would gladly drop 4K into this car for a factory supercharger with no warrantly implications....
time will tell
