Supercharging 2010 L99 90k miles

Do you all think this is a smart idea? Instead of getting something new I was thinking of putting a blower on my car SS instead of maybe camming it. It has 90k miles and I daily drive it. Worth it? Smart idea? Or bound to end up bad

Maybe do a leak down test just to check integrity and other tests similar to such before hand...

Im first thought is now many pounds are you going to boost in it.

My second thought, how long are you going to keep it for

I think you would be just fine..except you will never want a car again without a blower! Just find a good installer and tuner so they would prolly do those test and others to make sure anyway.
