There are a lot of things that a supercharger overcomes. When running a supercharger the mixture is mixed real well in the rotors and is forced into the cylinders rather than relying strictly on atmospheric pressure to fill the cylinders.
I am not an expert by any means but it would seem that the size of the runners would be more important that the length.
