Default supercharger question

I have a 89 siR motor. I have crower st 2 cams, full crower valvetrain, ctr pistons with totalseal gapless rings, milled head, spoon headgasket and all the bolt ons (mani, CAI..) producing 180hp & 116tq @ the wheels. i drive my car a lot a long distance to skoo, so i was wondering if the JR supercharger would be a good choice. I know i went hi-compression all motor setup but i'm not satisfied with the power and i feel like its a waste of money if i put my car back to normal to run the SC. Would my current setup with the SC be too much on my motor. Would it run safe with hi-compression? I want something reliable enough to drive everyday and have power.

so you dont think my all motor setup wouldnt cause problems after adding the JR SC, and buying a used SC is that a good idea? What are some things i should take into consideration about goin with da SC. Are there things i should get maybe a thicker headgasket instead?

be careful of used sc's... you could drop compression a little if u want to run more boost but personaly i would leave the motor as is and limit the amount of boost..... one big consideration that u need to adress is ignition timing you will need to use a boost retard system to give u quick adjustability against detonation... and if u havent done it yet u should install a mugen t-stat and fan switch...lower combustion temps = less timing retard required..
u have the makings of a very fun setup
