174/177 supercharged small block, where to start?

Just as a side note Jim Henn passed away in july of 2007 in a Jeep accident off road. He owned and built that Nova that had the 174 blower with a plate kit. He participated in the first pump gas drags in 2004 and had an issue with his first pass, otherwise he would have placed in the top ten, and he drove it 2700 miles to and from the event. The car ran high nines regularly and was his daily driver to his work at TRD. Not to mention the feature in Hot Rod. He also was a regular at Irwindale dragstrip. He later replaced it with a big block Chevelle on the juice. RIP Jim.
