The most an engine can have is 5 forced inductions. Needs to be in a "V" configuration, and have quad-turbo (Twin turbo on each side of the engine - 4 intakes right there) and one supercharger on top. Anything more will be useless/bog the motor down (and a HUGE waste of money.)

This isn't entirely accurate...you can have 7 turbos, but they would have to be in series which would negate their purpose and would not gain any power for anything past the first one. And you can have more than 4 turbos on a large engine (12+ cylinders) and still have them be efficient. But in general, your knowledge is correct.

In general this is correct, but there are a few (maybe only a couple) of cars out there without sway bars. Sorry I can't hink of any of them right now, but if I remember them I will get back to you.

The pistons and connecting rods are usually the weakest parts in the engine when it comes to forced induction. Forged pistons and rods are needed for a car running high boost.
