A couple of thoughts:
1. A SC has losses in the 25% range, therefore, will contribute far more under-hood heat for the same hp.
2. The pre-cooler overcomes most of the hot air issue described in this post.
3. A high hp SC tpically has issues keeping the belt and the harmonic balancer in place. On the speed channel a Ford GT in a review threw the belt.
4. The SC has fallen behind the turbo for a strip/street or even full race application. Take a look at any of the ride-n-drag series, like the Pump Gas Drags, the turbo's rule in the fastest classes. These are a bit different, but, the analogy is there.
The biggest issue for a turbo is the initial install, that is why a factory turbo is so nice.
