Default Procharger/Sidepipe question

Hey guys i was just wondering how loud a procharger running around 8lbs of boost would be. I have a stock 80' with sidepipes I added on but I think im going with a new 350 that runs 400hp/400 ft-lbs and bolting on a procharger. Just wondering if the sidepipes will overpower the whine of the procharger. I really don't want to hear it (or have other people hear it) I love the roar of my sidepipes

Also on a side note the procharger system im looking at is non-intercooled and the engine im looking at has a 9.5:1 compression ratio. Is 8lbs of boost safe with 91-93 pump gas?
