Default Procharged LS3

Hello,
Ive got a 1972 GTO that im planning to LS3 swap. Planning on making 750whp. Motor is completely stock out of a 2011 camaro. Got a good deal on some eagle forged pistons and rods. Compression ratio says 9:53:1, stock stroke, 4.070 bore. I also found a good deal on a used paxton novi 1500 supercharger, with newly changed bearings. Im thinking about using the stock intake manifold. What do you guys think about the setup for a daily driver? Thanks for your help

Cant see a problem with any of it.

Some will say you can do it on a stock motor no problem though. And others will start shouting and crying and getting their knickers in a twist that CR is too low.

But for a nice safe daily on pump fuel, not a damn thing wrong with it.
