If you really want them to work, the cost becomes a little unrealistic. I think it can be done, but as of yet it has not been.

One of my old neighbors had a ZR1 and had it built by LPE...He road raced the crap out of it and it was always breaking down..Even the late John Lingenfelter himself finally told him that if he wanted have fun he should just sell the car, buy and LT1 Corvette and let them build a strong, reliable set up...When it was running it was pretty damn fast making 600 fwhp, but when it was down it was a complete nightmare...I think its cool to have an odd combo, but not a combo that runs odd...

very well put

to the OP....you could try something CRAZY like a QUAD-turbo setup, that'd be pretty good. Or a Supercharged turbo motor...
