Dumb S/C question
Would it be possible to do a Maggie AND a Vortech or Procharger? And if so, could you also add a STS TT to it? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone ever combining two systems, so I'm guessing it's not possible.
And FWIW, I'm not considering doing anything like that - I'm happy with my H/C. Just curious if something like the above was even possible.

Doing two S/C together would require a custom belt system to match up with the two superchargers. Pretty serious heat load issues as I guess the reason to try that is to have one S/C create lots of low end TQ while the second S/C deals with the inefficency on the top end. That would seem to waste more power than a single properly sized S/C.
Turbo to feed the S/C is a realistic option and have seen it done on a gasoline engine. IMO, it was for show as the turbo capacity wasn't max'ed out. An STS might be an expensive fix for the limitations on the top end of the maggie.

You can find an article about it here.

Hellion makes a kit designed for the 03-04 Cobra, for a twin turbo system to feed into the supercharger. I've heard mixed reviews about this process (they used to do it with the supercharged MR2 Motors a long time ago also) But the one thing that everyone says is they wouldn't of added both if they didn't already have SC. Seems like overkill. If you want and can handle more power just turn up the boost on what you got.

i think the addition of Nitrous would be better than a S/C + Turbo combo.

To give an example of a newer LS based car.... http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/03...lac-cts-v.html
So anything is possible, but the uniqueness outweigh the benefits IMO. Still cool as hell though.

Yeah me too, but your right it was never worth trying both. It seems to me that this is much more of a show than a go thing.
