Not many but nat aspirated takes the fun out, sure its instant and all that but eventualy you have to run race fuel because of compression, sure you can run a 15:1 on normal octane, but it does not like it and it won't be for long you run it that way.
Heck I don't even like superchargers, because they are parasitical.
I love the sound of a turbo or turbos, the spooling, the blow off the lag then sudden neck breaking accel.
What you do is build a fast motor as much as you can naturaly aspirated then slap a turbo or two on with a massive intercooler and plenty of good condensed cold air, of course with a lower compression if you want it to hold together with incrediably high boost.
I use to love stangs and muscle cars, I had a 87 stang and a 69 GTO once,I use to help friends build camaros and stangs, I work with guys now that have Saleens and Grand Sports; but when I discovered the refinemant and the true love for the open road in European and non-domestic cars it was like going from kindergarten to college, such a dramatic maturaity.
