I'm not going to say there wouldn't be any advantage, but using it on a N/A car wouldn't be the best performance mod. There are some serious drawbacks to it too. You need to change your oil at real short intervals to keep the motor alive. Something in the neighborhood of as low as 500 miles to about a 1000 as the max.

Check with an engine builder before you do that. It might be better to trade your system for cash or parts that will provide a better performance bump.
I am going to talk to my speed shop about it. AS far as oil changes go. I don't think I will have a problem. I don't drive my car very often. It has seen less then 500 miles in the last year. I do use full synthetic oil along with Lucas Oil stabilizer and because of the miles I put on my car I change it about 2 times per year.
