Supercharge 1999 w/65,xxx miles??

As the title implies, I'm wanting to supercharge my 1999 mx-5. I'm not talking 20 pounds of boost or anything, this is my daily driver. I want to get the JR supercharger kit, which runs 6-8 psi. Would it just be a really ridiculous idea to bolt on a supercharger to my car with 65,xxx miles, without building the bottom end or rebuilding the stock engine? I'm new to the Miata world. I've had my car for a few months now, and it seems like a champ, it was treated great.

Second item to discuss: It will need the timing belt/chain (I don't know which it is) changed in the near future, and definately before boost. Is this a do it yourself job or not? Any suggestions for manuals?

Finally: Has anyone cleaned out the hydraulic lifters? Mine are a little noisy and I'd like to fix that asap. How should I go about that, manuals?

Thanks for the help in advance, and sorry about the long arse post.
