Has anyone tried or seen one of these before? Would it be hard to run the oil line back there? any comments are much appreciated.

For racing I would choose a supercharger , because of response and underhood/charge air temperatures

That is a pretty "blanket" statement. It really depends on the type of racing, size of motor, power level you're dealing with, etc.... SC's in the old days were superior to turbos in many ways. These days with current turbo technology and design you will be hard pressed to find any SC setups that are a better overall choice over a turbo that produces similar power.
