The Mach 1's still have crappy rods and pistons even though they have a forged crank, so they aren't good for much more hp than a stock GT bottom end.
IMO an entry-level type blower (smog legal, 6-8 psi) with bolt-ons is fairly safe for a stock short block in a GT as long as the tune is good. Any more boost than that and I would start thinking about beefing up the bottom end.
