RE: Twin Superchargers...
yup i saw that corvette on here too. twin superchargers generating about 1200 rwhp i believe. unless you plan on going that fast...which no offense but i doubt you do...it would be ineffective and a waste of money.
on the other hand...it would look cool when you popped the hood lol

RE: Twin Superchargers...
Two s/c wouldn't be efficent infact quite the opposite. IMO it's not a very good idea. It would take so much power to run them both that in the end it wouldn't be worth it. The reason that 2 turbos are more efficent then 1 is because running 2 smaller turbos will cause less turbo lag. It doesn't take any power to run a turbo like it does it does a s/c that is why you can run more then 1 turbo.

RE: Twin Superchargers...
The only reason you hear about twin turbos is because of the exhaust. Easier to just have two turbos usually on a v8 than linking everything up and havinga huge turbo and trying to fit it somewhere.
You'll never hear of twin turbo's on a 4 cyl car.
Like everyone else said, twin superchargers is a terrible idea.If I put one on my car i'd just lose power.

RE: Twin Superchargers...
the whole theory is that a turbocharger will give you more boost= more power, but until it spools up youll have turbolag. the supercharger, complemented by the turbo, is supposed to give you boost until you hit higher rpms. but nowadays, the turbos they have designed have basically eliminated turbo lag. turbos create more heat (using exhaust flow) and superchargers run off of a belt (costs you horsepower). so either one would be good.

RE: Twin Superchargers...
what about the FR500 Dual Intake Plenum? I know it uses the passenger side at normal use and then the driver side will open up at full throttle and maybe thats where you can have your chargers? be it twin s/c or t/c... i personaly would go with a small tubo on the passenger side and a biggert turbo for the driver side... getting the best of the fast spool of the small and the max power with the big....
um....well thats what i think.lol
