I, knew you would be taking a hit to power your supercharger but that much? 

Superchargers are getting more efficient; there's one company that claims 
theirs is 99.8% efficient.

Well maybe not that much HP but the most efficient super chargers use turbo 
charger compressors. The ratio of HP consumed will stay the same.

The bottom line is the turbo charger is still the way to go if you
don't need instantaneous acceleration.

Besides, with a little extra work a turbo charger can be converted into
a turbo compound configuration which will really pay off big
time in reduced fuel consumption.
