I have a boost timing master control that i will use. Holley prefers to retard about 1 degree per pound of boost. My ECR at 7 psi would be about 15:1 and to me with no more than 28 degrees full boost on high octane and a richer air fuel mixture seems do able but everything i read says no. If i underdrive the blower to stay in the safe zone of 12:1 ECR thats abot 2 psi and at that point almost not worth it i think

Post this up on Yellowbullet forum in the supercharged section, This is more of a LS based engine forum and not many here are familiar with a roots style supercharger.
My opinion is you should be able to run 5-6lbs with a forged piston as long as you run good fuel and keep the timing in check.
At that low of a boost I don't think you have to worry about ring gap. Even a few pounds of boost will add quite a bit of low end torque.
