I took those pics at the Hot Rod nats in Spingfield Ill in 05. I think they were doing a photo shoot plus some TV show with it that weekend, it should not be hard to find some info on it. I have some video of it driving in.....it sounded good.

For show purposes, two superchargers looks pretty cool. However, for a racing application, it would not be very efficient. A supercharger takes power to make power, and a big blower will eat up alot of horsepower. Add another blower into the mix and you are robbing alot of power from the crank to spin them.

Another month or two. The engines getting re-assembled after I discovered some things that weren't quite right the first time. It's a long story that's filled with sadness, time wasted and lots and lots of $$$$$...

Decided to not run the SRP pistons I had planned as well and am going with some Diamonds now. Katech charges a lot to put engines together I've found.

Hah yea the 8 turbo guy, dont get me started on him.

But I do have to agree with you to an extent. If you have the money, why not? At least its not a Hyundai.

I'm with you man. I never seen nothing like that before! Definately unique!

Theirs no need for the negative comments! That trucks has alot of time and money into it and Im sure if it got wrecked the guy would be heart broken!

Most people who make statements are miserable and negative towards most things, and alot of times its just jealousy, if they cant afford to do things they like to their cars, they hate to see someone else with something just crazy looking like that truck....

I'm perfectly okay with someone adding as many turbos or superchargers as they want to a car. Heck I plan on doing a quad-turbo car at some point. Why? Because I like Bugattis and because I can.

But everyone should know (especially the starter of the thread because he wanted to know) that there is no real advantage to using mulitple superchargers. Atleast nothing that couldn't be gained by one big one.
