Question ported & polised or not

I was told not to port and polish my stock heads if I add a supercharger due to the fact that it would "run TO smooth" and not allow enough backpressure. I think the guy who told me this is full of it. I'm new to most of this stuff and would lke to get other opinions. Has anyone ever heard of this before?

It's all in the heads. Well alot of it LOL! You will make more with ported heads with all being the same on a motor with stock heads vs one with ported heads and it will show less boost because it is moving the air more effeciently. Well that is the best way I can explain it anyways good luck and welcome to the board.
