Default 10.5 compression with a supercharge???????

so my engine just blew up and is being rebuilt and the machine shop is putting in 10.5:1 Je pistons.....I also have a Jackson blower pushing 7psi on top of that....Is this gonna be bad as hell, or it gonna blow up on me,if i was told right, a stock B16 motor has 10.2:1 compression, and was told that with forced induction, never raise compression... any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Higher compression is actually better for forced induction by means of power. but there will be a better chance for your engine to blow up again

ok but if i treat it fairly good, drive it like a grandma... can i expect to get 10,000 miles out of it or 75,000 miles more out of it.... also what is going to be the most likely thing to go out???????????

get some rods and make sure you run enough fuel...tuning is the key

All these parts dont mean much. Its all about your fuel managment and ECU. No FPR? Larger injectors? Tuning is the key when you mix high CR and F/I. Most likely.. to get the most out of your set up.. tune with Hondata or Zdyne. Your stock ECU limits what your set up can do.
