Sure, as long as you get a custom dyno tune you'll be fine.

Ported intake manifold also helps greatly on forced induction applications. Just something to think about since you're changing over the TB anyway.

It won't add any stress on the engine ? With forced induction

Nope - just smooths out the runners and cleans up/removes the tube sitting right in front of the throttle blade.

If anything will add stress on your engine --it will be the SC and NOT the T-Body--LOL
A SC adds what 100 HP and a ported T-Body maybe 10 ???
To me the main benefit I observed with my Weapon X T-Body was awesome throttle response at low and midrange RPM----On your car this would be pre boost---
After a tune and adding the weapon X---My throttle response was so aggressive that I actually had to DE-TUNE the TQ response tables in my tune because it was not fun to drive--wanted to spin the tires at every stoplight---That told me that their product really does wake up a car and it's response--especially at P/T
