Default Newb to boost build few ?s

Alright guys heres what ive got currently.
45k lq4 complete intake to oil pan .
Texas speed 408 eagle rotating assy.
Patriot heads if i remember right 2023s
Ms4 cam
Fast 90/90 combo
42lb injectors
I was shooting for a 500whp na build. But ive now got a maggie Mp112 i picked up from a friend in a pinch. So my question is where do i go? Id like to see a driveable reliable 650whp. Wich seems pretty possible but my stroker head combo is set up to be right at 10.9:1 cr wich is what an ls2 is if i remember right and people run the 112s on them as is correct? So should i lower the cr for it or leave it as is and get a different cam and giver hell?

Ive also heard that the 112 wont keep up with a 400ci+ motor any one have some experience with this? Sorry for all the questions guys new to supercharging i understand the concept an have been searching and reading but but havent come up with all the answers im looking for.

That 112 will NEVER keep up with your setup. Those things choke out on 346s right around 500rwhp. Not to mention your cam choice is less then optimal(understatement) for any 600rwhp boosted setup.

The cam obviously wouldnt be installed if i supercharge it. So more or less the 112 wouldnt keep up with a milder stroker set up? They guy claimed 530whp on his c6 ls2 vette. Not happy with what i hear but the input is greatly appreciated!

for boost engines 114+ is best. Think mine is 114+4 if I remember right.

The mp112 on anything bigger than a 346 is just going to be a heat machine. I say ebay it and pick up either a Procharger or going with a turbo setup if you have the skills and patience to do it.
