Basically, because a supercharger RAMS air into the motor, creating a lot more power than an N/A motor which sucks only as much air into the engine that it needs.

ok so would you recommend a Vortech V-1 S-trim Blower? my goals are to run low 12's high 11's. i would be using GT-40 heads, edelbrock performer intake and a custom cam.... at say 10-12psi what would i be making?

You should be able to go low 12's on motor alone, provided proper gearing and tires.
