I read an amazing article in Motor Trend last year about these cars. There is a 900hp parasitic loss at the crank just to run the supercharger. I think it also said the reason they don't run turbo is because the exhaust is just too hot coming out. The ignition temp for the fuel is insane. I'll try to find the article.
