It sounds great but the thing with superchargers is you don't know how much the person before beat on it and it will deff have more wear on it than a naturally asp motor. I know a lot of people on this forum supercharge their stock motors and are fine even at 10 psi but most kits they make for the stock motor don't go that high. Its really up to you and sonic blue is an awesome color.

Seems like a well built car. If the compression test checks out (which I'm sure you planned) then everything else should be fine.
