Default Centrifugal supercharging?

This isnt somthing I would be able to finance right now but I was just currious to find out if any ones done this before. I would like to supercharge my 454 along with a TPI setup. I know the basics behind centrifugal blowers but not nearly enough. Does anyone know what the advantages would be if I were able to install 2 instead of one? Would I be able to install 2 physically smaller blowers and have the same or more boost as a unit that takes up more space. It would be awsome to have a supercharged engine without it showing through the hood. :yesnod: Any info on centrifugal blowers would be great. Thanks
Kevin

If you send me your fax number I can send you some information on a twin procharger setup on a 68 camero. It was installed on a 454 BB. It has an intercooler also. I will try and scan them in for you if you don't have a fax. Let me know.

I am having problems getting my scanner loaded in. The drivers are giving me problems. I am still working on it. I have the article right here along with several pictures of the twin Paxton set-up on a small block chevy. I will get them to you ASAP.

Sorry for the delay
