You might want to take a look at how centrifugal superchargers work as well, if you think they will ba making boost without needing big revs. If you run something like a Vortec it will continue to build boost for as long as the engine increases revs. Maximum boost is reached at the redline so getting smaller cams for this kind of situation is a bad plan.

I also have to agree with Norbies reply to you, there is not really a lot of heat being transferred from the exhaust turbine to the intake air. A lot of situations will have far lower temperatures from a turbo than from a rootes blower at the same boost level simply due to the increased efficiency of the turbo.
