Ok im starting this build Im building a poor mans type r and i wanted to supercharge it as of right now i got the the head and the block and im working on the internals but everything is getting rebuilt. I want the engine to run 11:1 compression but i also want to run a jacksonracing supercharger on it at 10psi would this be to much for the engine? I just wanted to know your guys inputs. Im new at the forced induction thing. The internals im looking at running are:
eagle rods
cp pistons
eagle fordged crankshaft

And for the head:
skunk2 cams
blox valves,springs,retainers

(an of course im upgrading the fuel system to)

whats your opinions on this build? Im lookin at gettin 300+hp out of it. the block is getting resleeved too. Is there anything you guys would suggest? and why?

With that high of a CR, I wouldn't expect too much boost safely. You may be able to tune it to hold, but it's just unsafe. IMO, since you plan to sleeve the block, drop the CR down to 9.5 or 10, and you can run a little/lot more usable boost while keeping the low end power that the CR offers.

Lower the compression. Since you are running a supercharger there really is no need to have a higher compression. With superchargers you build your boost right from the get go, so a higher compression seems like it would be doing more harm then good.

Shut up baby, I know it!
11:1 compression is perfect for the jackson racing kit, thats what im using in my build im doing in my garage right now. The extra compression is essential for the low rpm's since the supercharger drive system requires HP to make power. The forged crank is unessecary however, honda crank's are forged from the factory. You want to use a forced indution profile for cams.

give LHT Performance a call about their supercharger intercooler kits thats one way to keep the charger cool without havin to use nitrous like ive seen before on other set-ups.

You will probably make more power just by cooling the boost than you would by upping the compression

Add some adjustable cam gears and I think you'd be on to something
