Now if it were a diesel, put a turbo charger on and see at least a 10% gain.
You can use water methanol as fuel for your wet shot, but then you have and extra fuel system to drag around.

You can either disconnect the supercharger with an electric clutch, like air conditioning.
Some centrifugal superchargers and most turbo compressor stages allow the engine to breathe thru the compressor wheel even if it is not moving.
