Would this setup be able to handle a Supercharger running between 8-10psi?

Melling high flow oil pump
Custom grind cam
.600 lift PAC Racing springs
Ls7 lifters
Port polish heads and throttle body

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?
