Supercharging RX8
 
Does an aftermarket supercharger that adds significant HP and torque to an RX8 actually exist?

no, unfortunately a supercharger will add too much torque and it will bend the pistons in a rotary engine.

Not likely, the pistons are drop forged for added strength...

You are more likely to get valve float from too much boost.

The only significant Power I have seen is from Hymee's system....

Then your previous statement is spurious, isn't it?

Personally, I think the MEGA-HYPER ELECTRO-TURBO SYSTEM® is the best supercharger I've ever "seen" for the RX-8.

Depends. I have seen a supercharger that works quite well, it just depends what kind of gains you are looking for.
