Drivetrain losses seem to be a percentage of horsepower. Spinning a supercharger is probably more of a fixed number. Big blowers might take 200hp to turn. Small ones much less. Regardless, a turbo will show higher whp for a given engine hp.

More time and money (& a change in design) and they’d probably solve this.
Just headers + a tune remove the dip.

Yeah it is there for emissions and gas mileage probably mostly. I’m just suggesting it could be a good thing, and if so perhaps designed.
