Yes it was a centrifugal supercharger (vortec).

Any forced induction system that is implemented on an engine not optimized for the increased pressure will damage it regardless of the type of induction. Theoretically if all forced induction systems (Roots, Centrifugal, Turbo) produce 7psi maximum to damage the engine then they will all provide equal damage as an effect.
