Get a turbo blow off valve and fit it between the carb and the supercharger, convecting the vacuum line to the intake manifold. This would be critical, otherwise the pressure produced when the supercharger is producing boost would blow apart the carb (massive pressure spike), when the throttle is closed after reving the engine. It would sound real cool too!

he's trying
if you have carb AFTER the supercharger, the supercharger will always be pushing the maximum amount of air it can (1.4L per rev for the SC14) since there is nothing to stop it doing otherwise.
any time you are not using WOT, you will need to vent the air somewhere.
this massive pressure spike will happen any time you have high rpm and closed throttle.. heck even normal rpm with closed throttle if you don't vent air somewhere.
if you are usng a carb, use a proper carb set up for blowthru..
but why not just use EFI? so much easier.
and as discussed recently, an SC14 will not suffice for a V8 (even a rover) due to it's small size (ie good for 2L, not so good for more)
mmm Eaton is more efficient that toyota blowers too.
