It'll definitely last a long time but keep in mind the higher power engines require more maintenance and care. For example, you'll need to run higher weight oil, change gaskets and plugs more often. Its also imperative you let your engine warm up before driving. Just gotta take car of your engine like a princess so you can drive it like a monster!

I already change the oil extremely frequently around 3k miles and run 5W-50, I also do let it warm up for ab 5-10 mins before driving and then I baby it till it’s all the way up to temp lol.

That's great! Sounds like you already know what you're doing, which it's surprising to see how many people abuse these engines. You'll be surprised how much these can handle! Have fun

Cost benefit analysis needed...if you upgrade the internals, it may last longer than just adding a power adder like a supercharger to an OEM engine, but it's not a guarantee. For real power, that cost for NA only will be very high, so you'll probably use FI anyway. So that money could instead be used for repair, if needed on OEM internals with boost, if anything happens. Just my .02

I think the OP wants to go the boosted route anyway. I agree, cost analysis will definitely be a factor as you don't need to best pistons/rods if you aren't maxing out the engine!
