Compound boost system
Can the ls1 run a Vortech v3 plus a TVS heartbeat maybe the newer 2650? Will the pulley system line up with the correct belt tension / direction with a bigger belt?

Imo you would so far exceed the engine limits it wouldnt be worth it because youd have to pulley down it so much. Not to forget the space nightmares

What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? You're adding a good bit of weight and a ton of complexity for what, a bit more low end? You will have plenty of trouble maintaining traction with a centri blower, you don't need to compound the situation by adding a PD blower.

Overly complex for underwhelming results. There is a reason you don't see many compound boost setups on any platform, the benefits just don't outweigh the negatives.

after years of looking into it, i'd personally add a big rear-mount turbo to feed a TVS if i cared to throw more money at the car (and the mrs wouldn't kill me).
it's actually been worked out on a couple C6s over the last few years. the key is to get huge airflow from the atmosphere charger and only spin the blower to it's most efficient pressure ratio map.
