    Am I speaking a different language? If the supercharger could provide plenty of airflow, what's the point of headers, rockers/cam, throttle bodies, etc.

    Take one supercharged car running on gasoline. Another right next to it is running on E85. To dyno about the same, the E85 car would have to dump ~40% more fuel and pull in ~40% more air to match the gasoline car due to the drastically lower amount of energy contained in E85. If a 40% increase in airflow is easy, excuse me...

    There's physics and facts, and then there's what people want to believe. Choose which you want to be in on.
