Default Supercharger Compression Ratio Question-Maggie

I have 98 Vert with full bolt ons, a 223/227 610/613 114 LSA CAM with LXL lobes and AFR 205 heads.

Its putting down 426 RWHP and 401 RWTQ in an awesomely usable powerband.

But I want about 100 more of each...again in a very Torquey powerband in the low to midrange RPM.

I'm looking at one of the older Maggies that delivers 100 HP and Tq

my current compression ratios are 8.33 dynamic, and 11.07 Static

Question is, can I run an older gen Maggie that I believe produces either 4 or 6 PSI with my compression ratio on 91 octane?
