True, but I would think that the bump in compression should give it a nice boost in power. It's just physics really, and as long as you can keep detonation in check, it should give more power.

That's all you get from Magnachargers and ProChargers with their stock applications. Boost is boost regardless of it's from a turbo or supercharger.
More than likely, what you'll want to do to achieve your efficiency goal is lower boost and raise compression. However, given the small displacement of your engine, this may backfire severely as the engine doesn't make good power when not boosted.
