Yes, as long as the tune is on the safe side. You could add meth as well for some extra insurance if you want.

What type of supercharger are you looking at ?

Good meth setups are cheap, easy and really help out...you can get a full kit for around $500. This can give you more power AND make your engine run safer/longer.

If you are going to spend that kind of money on such a nice build then put some quality link bar lifters in it.

It all depends on the cam. You say "custom grind" That could make it go either way. Cam specs?
