hmmm. i really dont feel like getting into physics arguments here. so just a simple explanation.

A supercharger works by forcing more air molecules into the combustion chamber, therby increasing the amount of O2 which creates a hotter explosion and more HP. In a std nitro RC engine, by increasing the O2 in the combustion chamber, you will over lean the engine and destroy the engine. To compensate for this, you have to richen the mixture, which causes teh car to bog down, and stall at idle. The amount of rich fuel/air mixture needed to prevent pre detonation will reduce power output more than or equal to the amount of added benifit the SC will increase. A turbo charger wont work at all.
