Default supercharging a high mileage engine

I have a 98 cobra motor with about 115,000 miles on it. I want to supercharge it now. I am very concerned because of it's high mileage. Has anybody ever done something similar to this or should I look into rebuilding the motor or getting a new one and starting over? Please help.
