Looks like I was correct. Here's a quote from Rob Herrod.
Mr Herrod explained that upping outputs of the Mustang’s ‘Coyote’ 5.0-litre V8 by around 179kW and 258Nm using a supercharger required no changes to the engine internals due to its sophisticated quad-cam design.
“It’s a high-compression engine but with the quad cams we can actually bleed off compression through valve timing,” he said.
“You don’t have to put lower compression pistons in to supercharge the engine and for it to live, you can actually bleed the compression through the inlet and exhaust valves. It’s very complex.”
Mr Herrod said the electronic engine re-calibration to achieve this “comes from Ford’s end”.

Yeah Super Duty has some beefed up internals, but it's mostly the same box.

Anyone thinking, "Huh, why would you do that?"
Answer is: way cheaper than Ford US can supply...
They really, really need Ford to go do the right think and sign off on PP2 approval,
that thing is gonna blaze the tyres without the better rims and rubber....

What is with Ford Australia's stubborn refusal to put decent rubber under the bum of their supercharged V8 cars? It would have been so easy this time, with PP2 already having 305's. Even if the rear end needed to be upgraded to handle the extra grip they have a number of options from the FRPP catalogue to use, which are also used in the GT500 like the half shafts, stronger diff cover etc.
