Modern superchargers aren't as inefficient as they used to be... I made 360WHP with 11.5PSI on E85 and a full stock exhaust with stock header, both cats... I am pretty close to most of the turbo guys in my pressure range. Sure the turbo guys may be slightly better, but a lot of turbo setups have 1 or 0 cats, full exhaust, high flow header, etc. Mid range power? sure, they make more psi at a lower RPM with the downside of a higher transient lag than I have. But saying that a ton of power is lost by using a supercharger isn't fully accurate. But lets not take this thread off topic in a debate about what is better.
