I prefer a manual too, but if you're stuck with an auto, you do what you can. Plus, with a tune or B&M shiftplus, it'll shift faster than you or I could ever shift a manual, and it's more consistant at the drag strip.

No, a supercharger does not run cooler than a turbo. Sure, the turbine housing gets hot, so does your exhaust pipe since the hot exhaust runs through it. A turbo is a more efficient air pump than a roots supercharger. Assuming both compressors running efficient boost levels and neither with an intercooler, the turbo puts out cooler air. Then we can talk about add-on intercoolers to cool the charge further, which you can't do with the supercharger.
