And I'm sure since there's not much low end TQ the stock engine should be able to run it reliably.
Edit: So I messaged VitViper about why is boost irrelevant, because I didn't wanna look too much like a dumbass in front of all you guys and this is what he said. I also asked him how much he was making to the wheels. So I thought I'd share this to everyone that's interested in this thread.
"Boost is irrelevant because boost level doesn't break anything (aside from blowing poorly secured couplers off). Power (tq) breaks stuff. The power levels these S/C kits put out won't break anything, even at 14psi.

To explain it a little further: Boost is irrelevant because it's only a measure of restriction to flow. If you put a freer flowing exhaust on a supercharged engine it'll likely make more power due to the lower restriction to flow, which will also result in less boost pressure.
