Maybe, kinda in this thing to see what happens

ok i have some pics of how im gonna mount it up to the motor. First thing will be to move the gas tank to a different (and probably more inconvenient but who really cares) spot and then I will create the supercharger bracket using the gas tank studs. after that I will attempt to set up pulleys and we'll see where that takes us. As you have seen, there is no good way to mount the carb to the supercharger, so I am just going to do a blow through setup. @Sparkwizard if I need one of those ammo boxes I'll give you a holler, I really appreciate the offer. And I am going to run a boost reference line to the vent on the tank, thanks for that idea Mr sparkwizard.
What have y'all run for charge pipes? considering using something similar to like the hose on a vacuum cleaner cause its flexible and looks like one of those old school Paxton supercharged gt350's but I still have to figure that out.

I suggest you follow @Denny 's advice and spin that blower to its max before you connect it to your carb. You don't want that inside your engine and you don't want to be near it if it lets go.
It looks like you could put that carb in a box, seal it, seal the cable and gas hose to the box, run a boost line to the gas tank and solve a whole lot of problems.

Ok then I can see how it makes sense. Correct me if I’m wrong but I suppose I should hook it up to the engine and not connect the pipe to anything and see what happens?

A shaft driven turbo wouldn’t it be a pro charger? And that thing isn’t doing 4,000 rpm near me. 40,000!?!?!
Have him print a second one for display as it‘s not gonna last long. The 3d print engines on Camden bowens youtube never last long.

Well I guess I could always run a 1 to 1 for 20,000 or even a reduction of somekind. Also I could get it reprinted in a stronger material, think I’m gonna just spin this one up and hide behind a wall or something to see if it splodes. If it does it’ll be one heck of a video, and I could just reprint it. I’ll work on getting it durability tested first I guess.

What is your actual end goal with this? Looks, function, something else? I would advise not trying to use a plastic centrifugal supercharger. I would advise not going blow-through with the carb. Blow-through has potentially significant benefits like ability to add an intercooler, but it's far more complicated to tune.
A cheap Chinese copy of an Aisin AMR300 roots blower would be the most robust and straightforward way to supercharge your engine. It moves 300cc of air per revolution, so underdriving it at 1:2 would net roughly 6psi of boost.
