Opinions on supercharging this crate engine

I'd to know everyone's thoughts, good and bad, on a supercharger such as a vortech, procharger, or roots setup for this motor. I'm only talking about running 6 lbs, maybe 8 tops.

The only problem I can see with using that engine with forced induction would be the dual plane intake. You may want to consider throwing a single plane intake on it.
