Theres more to compression than just the ratio. The combustion chamber shape, the shape of the piston, and the swirl of the air also play a part. They basically made the flame front travel faster across the piston which allowed them to run a compression ratio that high on 87 octane.
A supercharger would add alot of turbulence and would affect the speed of the flame front which would probably equal disaster.
