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.

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.
