Look at S2000 supercharger dyno plots for examples, I feel this is a good comparison to the FA20 motor in terms of power delivery and torque production.
I am not saying this is definitely what is going to happen with this engine, but to use blanket statements is wrong.

fwiw it looks like those dynos come from ultimate racing themselves so its not exactly an unbiased, third party comparison...

imo, if you're ok with "modest" gains, then SC is the way to go... if you want 500 hp, go straight to turbo. in between is the centrifugal SC, which can either be seen as the "odd man out", or the perfect compromise...
