Wow...you got it!...I'm impressed!

Are you thinking at low RPM Vortech feeds KB multiplying boost thus torque, then after XXXX RPM turbo kicks in and feeds Vortech. The Vortech then acts like a turbine which intern unloads parasitic losses and also helps to drive KB… (so no belt issues). Hmmmm ingenious, then by running only one turbo you cut backpressure to boost ratio by half.
I can’t type anymore while keeping a straight face. Gotta go…

The turbo is driven by the engine exhaust and with a very high pressure ratio the velocity pressure of the turbo compressor effluent effectively drives the Vortech compressor wheel which increases the pressure ratio and the charge is subsequently is directed into the KB inlet which drives the lobes with the perpendicular component of the velociry pressure vector and further increases the pressure ratio with the important added advantage of sealing the air path from reversion (due to the positve displacement nature of the KB)!
THIS IS THE KEY FACTOR IN THE COMPRESSION CHAIN THAT APPARENTLY HAS STOPPED PRIOR EFFORTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCHEME!!!
I'm aghast! Andy figured out this complex scheme and you recognized it immediately and it was right there all the time for all to see and we MISSED IT!
Thank God for the CORVETTE FORUM! I'm proud to be associated with this sophistcated group of technical intelligencia!
No more blower belt alignment issues, no more snapping belts in the remote desert and having to be airlifted out, no more trying to get alternator pulleys off! blowers driven by blowers and NO BELTS!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
God bless Andy!

Wheres the direct port???? LOL. Thats hella funny. I am sure that freaks some people out when they walk into your shop. Now if you can stuff all that in the car, rock on.

I am sure if American HP wants to respond to this, Andy will not request that he not post on this thread, as did American hp on his non "Epic Power"

not a flame either, right?

Anyway, this isn't the purpose of this thread, and I have to run and get my Z over to Andy to see if that combo fits..
