This is a reason I never went to the supercharger solution. Yes, it might feel a bit heavier especially with a positive displacement supercharger. Just keep in mind that the gains in the NA route are much less and you have to combine them with weight reduction for a better result. The latter is not always the best option if the car is a daily driver.
