Default How much will 4lbs raise my compression?

I was thinking about running about 4lbs of boost from a Powerdyne 6lb kit. My compression on my car is currently at 10.75:1, so how risky would it be to my engine if I add a supercharger? Also, what else would I need to add to get it to run right? (injectors, new rearend/transmission etc.)

Thanks for any info-I'll attach a list of all mods currently done to my car. And the reason i would go with the powerdyne is b/c my buddy will sell me his (brand new) for a good price-he's going with another setup

I think you'll be alright as long as you don't run more than 4 lbs, you will have to retard some timing, and run extra rich (12:1) to avoid detonation.
