No one has really ever gone the supercharger route, or at least no one has publicized it, so this is unknown.

NA is a waste of money, same with a supercharger.
Some people don't need to go that fast, so NA isn't all too bad for that purpose. Also, NA is simpler, believe it or not. And to the turbo guys I'm not saying turbo is unreliable or too complex, so don't get defensive.
Also, building up an NA to be decently fast is considered quite a feat/achievement for us, so it's a sense of personal satisfaction that drives people to do so.

JDM motors suck. I know from first-hand experience (since my car had a JDM Engine before I got it)
