Yeah, Vortec makes what are called "centrifugal superchargers". They're basically the cold side of a turbo and exhibit most of the characteristics of turbos (ie, mid- to high-end power, slightly lower bottom-end torque, etc). The other style is generally called a "roots" or "twin-screw" supercharger and uses two or more "corkscrews" (for lack of a better word) to compress the air and usually has better low-end torque but kind of dies out at the top of the rpm range.

Don't listen to what they're saying. You DO have a supercharger. To see if you must remove your oil pan. You will find your supercharger there.
