Default Supercharge my LS?

Ive got a basicly stock integra with a JDM B18 in it with close to 45k on it. Cold air/ exhaust. Im building on a block in my garage now, doing a FULLY built LS/VTEC setup with boost, but while im doing that i was wondering what everyones take was on a stock low boost setup on a LS (supercharger). Of course i want some kind of performance peek, but im not a racer, so its not like im going to use it to dog my car todeath. No flames please.

Really i guess what im more or less asking is, boosting/supercharging a stock LS, think i would be alright, only pushing 6 - 8 lbs? Like i said not going to really race it, just a little performance isnt to much to ask for.
