Default correct setup

I have been lurking around the blower section for a while, wondering if it would be worth my time/money to "add" a blower to my combo.
I have mild H/C combo running approx. 10.8 comp. I would have to run fairly low boost and Meth, but as one of the vendors told me a while back, high comp. setups actually work pretty good. (The Zo6 has close to the same CR)
I am running a 150 N2O shot that gives me 563rwhp, and I doubt I will able to do any better with a blower on my stock trans, but the blower hp WOULD be there all the time. This is a pure street car
QUESTION;
1.I'm looking at a cent. because I have an auto,with a 3500 stall, and low end is not a problem (don't need to break anything)
2 I've been looking at a procharger simply because I don't want to drill the oil pan, and the setups seem to be equal to everything else.
3 I'm looking at the P-1SC-1, because I know I'll never need to spin it high.
Am I on the right track, or is my logic flawed?
Thanks

Keep what you have, unless you go with 72cc heads and a little thicker head gasket with one of the newer bigger blower then you can pull 700 plus rwhp from that. and all of that under 4,k rpm

Anyone else?? The LS3's are suppose to be running around 10.9 I believe, and there's kits going on them, so I wouldn't think compression would be a big deal. (More concerned with the rods actaully)
Is the procharger P-1sc-1 a proper fit, or would it need somthing bigger to produce boost with the engine more efficent than stock?
