Thanks for all the comments!!

Yes, in the video it was just open headers, Im going to run dual 3" borla XR1s.

The pulley size is 3.33, stock its suppose to run 7psi, but with the cam and free flowing headers, im sure ill see lower. I want to eventually run 8-10 psi.

Nice setup and it sounds great. Can't wait to see the numbers.

A friend of mine has a similar setup just a bit older. He has a 94 RCSB Chevy, 383 SBC w/very stout bottom end, Custom Cam from Cam Motion, vortec supercharger (don't know the model) 15psi, but it's not fuel injected its a blow through carb setup. He is running a 700R4, 3000 converter, stock rear w/3.42 gears and eaton posi unit. It has a 4/6 drop with 17" weld wheels and 28" radial tires. Only weight reduction is spare tire removal. Still has everything including ac, power windows/locks and 10" subs and box. We drove it 75mph to the track which is a 50 min drive. Ran a best 1/4 of 11.70 @ 126mph on radials. He has never ran slicks or drag radials because he knows that will kill the trans and possible the rear end. With that mph in the 1/4 it should be in the high 10's with traction.

I may be wrong but in the vid it looked as if the idle was around 700rpms. Maybe a lil increase on idle would smooth it out, but fk it leave it as is....sounds great.

Idle has nothing to do with it. A typical "blower" cam with the amount of overlap it has will generally not have any lope at all or VERY little. Maybe someone knows something I dont but ask the guys that run the GT2-3 if they have lope I bet they have none That truck sounds alot like mine with a 237/242 112 and it is NOT a blower cam at all.
