A very viable option - especially low boost (12lbs and under) with proper tuning.
If you wan't a nice easy way to get lower compression without actually fitting new pistons try contacting a south african company called alpine developments [ www.alpine-developments.co.za ]
(www.alpine-developments.us - US website, south african seems to be down with a glitch)
They are the company that developed and sold/licensed the 2rz and 3rz supercharger system to TRD.
Of course TRD took several things away from the kits and made them cheaper/worse.
One difference is the alpine developments there was a low comp supercharger kit for the 3rz that came with a 1mm steel headgasket spacer kit to drop the compression down to 8.25:1 if I remember right.
Luckily enough a member of TTORA (www.tacomaterritory.com) in new york state had purchased one of the original kits, but didn't use install his spacer kit, and I got that from him for my project.
EDIT: found an old email with info on the spacer (i had to ask, kit came with an 11psi pulley)

Hi Andrew:
The compression will be 8.25:1 with the "spacer plate". We have never found
the need for larger "dowels" in all of our fitments to date. If you have a
problem, you can lift the existing dowels up in the block.
