Throw money at the rear end or transmission as I said before.

This.
I would not go through all the trouble and expense to put a supercharger on a 10.25:1 compression stock LT1 and run 5-7psi. That to me is a total waste of money.
You would be far better served addressing some of the current deficiencies of the car such as the transmission/torque converter, rear axle, suspension, etc first and then think about making power. There's a reason why most guys follow the same modification path.
