Is a supercharger worth it w/my current mods??

I've got a buddy who has a brand new Powerdyne 6lb kit that he decided not to install, so I could pick it up for a pretty good price. I know nothing about superchargers, so with my current setup would I see good gains, and how reliable will it be with the currents mods on my car? Will I need a rebuild shortly after? Also, what other parts would I need to add to get the best results? Currently, my car is running 10.75:1 compression with the following mods:

ENGINE
*Factory GM short-block with 4,500 miles (valve reliefs cut should you want to go bigger with camshaft)
*Federal Mogul Camshaft, Main, and Rod Bearings
*Total Seal Piston Rings
*ARP Pro-Series Connecting Rod Bolts
*TSP Ported LS6 Oil Pump
*Rollmaster Adjustable Double-Roller Heat-Treated Timing Set with Torrington Bearing
*TSP 231/231, .598"/.598", 112 LSA Camshaft
*CNC-ported LS1 Cylinder Heads with 2.02"/1.57" Valves, Dual Valve Springs, Titanium Retainers (Setup with Pump-gas Friendly 10.75:1 Compression Ratio)
*TSP Hardened 7.35" Pushrods
*GM LS6 Intake Manifold
*Factory GM 1.7:1 Roller Rocker Arms
*ASP Underdrive Crankshaft Pulley
*Custom TSP Dyno Tuning
*Walbro 255 lph In-Tank Fuel Pump

TRANSMISSION
*Professionally-built 4L60E
*HD 3-4 Power Pack with Alto Red Eagle Clutches
*HD Kevlar Wide Band
*4th Super Servo
*2-3 Check Valve Update
*HP Slide Spring
*TransGo Shift Kit
*TCI Competition 3800 Stall Speed Torque Converter

EXHAUST
*PaceSetter Ceramic-Coated Long Tube Headers
*PaceSetter 3" Off-Road Y-Pipe
*SLP 3" Dual/Dual Cat-Back Exhaust System with Cut-Out

REAREND
*GM 7.5" 10-Bolt
*Factory 3.23:1 Gear Ratio
*New SLP Take-Out Differential
*Ratech Deluxe Rebuild Kit
*New GM Axles
*Traction Control
*Mac Aluminum Rearend Girdle

SUSPENSION/CHASSIS
*BMR Black Tubular K-Member
*GM 32mm Front Sway Bar
*Suspension Techniques Rear Sway Bar with Poly End Links
*BMR Tubular Lower Control Arms, Black
*BMR Tubular Panhard Rod, Black
*BMR 1" Lowering Springs
*New Factory DeCarbon Shocks/Struts
*Factory GM Torque Arm
*BMR Boxed Subframe Connectors, Black

Thanks for any help,
Erik

Compression seems kinda high to be supercharging, but its always worth it.
