This is still on a stock head and exhaust. I'm pertty sure with a better flowing header and single exhaust. The supercharger kit on stock boost level can pick up right around 290-300whp.

It's hard to tell, and honestly not looking good. Can you take an overhead pic and measure how far it is from the engine to the brake lines?
I had the same problem with the Lovefab turbo. The solution is to remove and modify the bracket.
My unit and lines are now about an inch further to the side of the engine bay and has just enough room for the turbos compressor housing. Not sure how big the SC unit is though.
The other point of contention is the clutch master cylinder. Depends how far back the blower unit goes.

Are you concerned about the brake lines leading to the ABS unit?

It seems that clutch reservoir bottle is in the way too.

260 lbs/ft at over 8000 rps is over 400 whp. Can a stock S2000 engine/driveline take such load without trouble/things start breaking ...?!
I know of one member on the forums putting out a peak of 305 rwtq and 350rwhp- but thats through turbo and the tq is not linear.
I bring this up b/c I would love to see something comparable through a s/c application- expecially since it has the most wicked sound I have ever heard on a 4 banger.

Um no its not. I am not an expert on supercharger designs but I think some s/c's put out more torque than others.

torque / 5250 X RPM = Horsepower
Now, an engine could produce a higher level of torque at a lower RPM and end up with less total horsepower. It's all in the math.

No s2000 will do this on the same boost to redline.
The only way this will work is if high boost is used down low, then low boost up top.
This charger puts down nice torque #'s. Like others said, its pretty much flat till redline.

Of course a turbo can do this, 350hp 300tq. Where talking SC'ers.
This SC puts out better tq numbers than the current SC applications.(Im not talking just peak)
You said some SC put out better number than others....and that SC just so happens to be the topic of this thread.
For tq#'s from SC'ers, I dont see it getting any better than this one.
