"Roads, where we're going we don't need roads"
From what I've heard you can burn up an engine really quickly by adding a supercharger to it, plus I believe supercharges work better with engines that have valves (intake/exhaust)
Cause you need something to stop the fuel/air mixture, so the combustion chamber can be charged full of said fuel air mixture..... I have heard of some 2stroke bikes that have supercharges, but I hear they can take a While to get up to a speed where the charging system is actually being a benefit, um if you add more air for combustion your also adding heat, and if the idea is to stay under 240F it might be a bad idea, unless you've got an R/C gambit up your sleeve like liquid cooled R/C engine

Don't waste your time or money. Because of the way these smaller engines work, supercharging doesn't really work.

Jajajja it was fuuny, i just wanted to know, how was adding some force induction to the ride, I'm new on the hobby but i learn quick, and i dont have a friend or other relates who knows about this, so i need to ask here 
Whats are the best mods you can add to it? Headers, pipe and intake? Thats all? What else could help? I got a vx-16 .16 engine runing now. I go some days to a rc track by my house an race there thats why I'm asking,

Depending on what you are trying to achieve theres a few different things you can do. Go with a bigblock like a .21 or .28 size engine but you will typically have to upgrade the rest of your drivelines to compensate for the excess power they produce. A high quality exhaust pipe like a ERCM from the vendors section will really bring any engine to life. Runniing a different sized cluthcbell will give you better power/speed depending on which way you go with the tooth count. Even running a different % nitro fuel will make a difference.
