NA= naturally aspirated.

Using nitrous is NOT naturally aspirated. Nitrous is basically like adding a ton of oxygen to your car's intake charge (thus why you need bigger fuel injectors with nitrous). Hence, you're shoving more fuel and more oxygen into your engine- this is why it's NOT classified as naturally aspirated.

As for SC... that's ONLY forced induction. I believe what you were looking for was FI, or forced induction. With forced induction, be it turbo, supercharger, or ... KIND OF nitrous, that handy mep equation goes out the window. If I didn't answer everything, please let me know.
