This pretty much exemplifies the fact that some people see two numbers and make assumptions about the entire car.
There is more to power delivery than peak numbers. When you see quoted figures they are referencing only two points of the cars entire RPM range. Peak Torque and Peak HP. There is a whole RPM range to deliver power through and focusing solely on peak numbers isn't exactly telling unless your main concern is bench racing.
The main reason people look at the electric superchargers is to get loads more low down torque while also getting some decent gains up top while remaining a fairly inexpensive mod. Obviously it doesn't replace a purpose built turbo or supercharger but its pretty good at what its intended purpose is.
Start to look at the complete package instead of number chasing and you'll end up much happier with whatever car you have.
