supercharging has several advantages over turbo set-ups. It costs less, is easier to install, and the systems last longer without major overhauls. The power cost of supercharging is greatly overblown (pun intended). Even vintage Paxton superchargers on a basic 289 are making 120+ HP and costing less than 20 for a net gain of over 100+ HP. The modern roots type are dramatically more efficient than that.
