How big of an engine are you thinking? You're trying to increase the manifold air pressure, but you also need to supply sufficient volume to keep up with the demands of the engine. And a big engine needs a lot of air. The power required by a supercharger is a function of pressure times volume; a fractional horsepower motor isn't going to hack it for an engine of any size.

Another problem is that electric motors are basically constant speed devices; at some point the blower motor will become a generator and siphon off power from the intake air flow.
