If you ordered them and actually used them then you are right, those stainless bolts are slightly stronger than an un-hardened (grade 2) steel (which it what I think the supercharger bolts are made from)

Important to know that A2 stainless is significantly weaker than hardened steel fasteners. So not good for all applications, but in this application I think you are right. Just make sure to thread in my hand as stainless can cause galling.
