School me on supercharging a 360

I have been doing a little thinking on my next project. I have thought about a Viper drivetrain, a elephant Hemi and now a supercharged smallblock. Just weighing all the alternatives and still maintain the wow factor. I am sure most any 360 block would do. But after that I am lost. I figure a forged crank and a girdle would probably be a must along with forged pistons and better rods. Heads I have no clue on. I think something like a 6/71 blower with 2 smaller blow through carbs is probably the ticket. There are other factors that I know nothing about. Ie: exhaust, ignition timing, cam choice and any other items you can think of. One question I have always thought about is, what happens when you get caught in the rain with a blower sticking out of the hood?

I suppose I would be looking for something in the 550 to 600 HP range.

Any help would be appreciated.
