Default Supercharger with hollow valves. Good idea?

OK so. I have a L76 engine. It's basically a Ls2 (6.0) with a LS3 top end. The only difference in the heads is that they have different valves. I'm most interested in swapping g to the hollow LS3 intake valve. I will also be running a LSA roots style supercharger and have heard mixed opinions on running hollow valves with the blower. So does anybody have an hard evidence that it might be a bad idea?

Plenty of people are running GM hollow stem valves with forced induction. You should be absolutely fine with some good valve springs.

I do think your fine. If you want piece of mind get a good stainless valve and real good springs.
