Dude, 6 grand?
You could rebuild the bottom end with forged parts and throw a turbo kit on there for 6k if you buy from paradise racing. Lots of people on customtacos use them.
Don't go S/C, they don't make any power. Go turbo!!!!!

LCE parts are good (expensive)... but go turbo, not S/C!!!

1, why is your truck leaning...
2, your truck looks incredible similar to mine (see build thread)
3, why spend 6 grand?! geez, you just trumped the price of the truck by almost 2 by doing that, and its not even running?

Nice start, think you might have got jipped on the parts, I spent $2k on parts for my 500++hp capable MR2 engine.
Also think that a turbo would be the smarter move, might as well just do a V6/V8 swap for that kind of money if you are just going to Supercharge it.
Now turbo would be worth it since you could make some real power with that.

Maybe next time after I blow this motor or the s/c breaks.

Having driven a few of each i would personally go turbo but it is your truck go for whatever you want.
Also, what do you mean by surge? Surge only happens if you have an improperly matched turbo size or don't run a BOV.

Even that is very little with a properly sized turbo.
With a ~gt3071 sized turbo (or even better an EFR turbo) he would spool plenty fast enough that it would be unnoticeable. Plus he would be good for well over 400rwhp, 500+ if he went with the EFR.
I have a 2.0l engine with a larger turbo then a GT3071, the lag is hardly noticeable, about .5-1 second tops from the time i go WOT to full boost. With a 2.7l motor the lag would be even less. Then use an EFR turbo and you would literally not be able to tell it has lag.
But like i said, his money and his truck, do what he wants.

I am not posting to bash you, but Texas asked a legit question, have you ever driven a turbo or charged car/truck?
I saw the thread over on TTORA, and it's tuff love over there for sure. I just think really they dont want to see you go down the wrong road. And really TTORA is more for off roading/fab stuff, and that does not seem to be the direction of your build. So what I am getting at is take the info you get from boards and learn from it, instead of getting mad at the dudes who flame you for not putting in a 4.7 or turbo the 3z. I understand not everyone has access to fabrication equipment.
