Default supercharged 5.3?

Planning on dropping a 5.3 into my '97 z28. From what I hear, stock LT1s and FI do not mix. I was curious though, how do the stock 5.3s respond to a supercharger?

Our '95 Formula has been doing just fine with an ATI ProCharger bolted to it for the last ten years. As far as the 5.3's go, they also work very well with forced induction. Bob

the only problem i have with a 5.3 or a 4.8 with a procharger is how to mount the bracket , only 1 hole is there to mount the j bracket. One can be drilled out , so what do you do about the 3rd hole?
