Default supercharger?

hello, i have a 10.4-1comp. 350 all forged internals, flat top pistons, afr heads, small comp roller cam, that i run around town and go to test and tune with. I have never had a blower, (always used the bottle) but im ready to step it up. if i am willing to run straight race gas can i put an 6-71 on it? i dont care about cruising anymore i want POWER? oh yeah the motor is also fully studded. is this a recipe for disaster?

You may want to back off on the compression and are those blower pistons?? And you will need a cam change as well. Is this 010 block with stock caps?

not blower pistons just forged flat top with valve reliefs, stock block with studded mains and heads. i didnt want to have to tear down motor if at all possible.
