supercharger newbie

Hi Guys & Gals,
I have been reading some posts on this web site that makes me think that I didn't do enough research on boost before I bought my Novi 1000. I am an avid motorsport enthusiast with limited mechanical skills, so I'm a little nervous about my decision. I am in the process of replacing the complete drivetrain on my 1969 Falcon S/C. I plan on building a 5.0 roller engine that has low compression 8.5 or 9.0 to 1, I also plan on using a carb instead of fuel injection, a c4 & an 8.8 w/either 3:55 or 3:73? rear gears. I do not plan on much more than 7-8# of boost so I'm pretty sure that I won't need an intercooler. These are just a couple of questions that I have maybe already answered just reading various posts on the site.
I'm sure that I will have many more in the future.
Thanks in advance for any information that I may receive in the future & please be patient.
