20 lbs. of boost on my set-up would be about 18:1 compression which is beyond pump gas anyway, so that's not realy a negative. I may be wrong, but boost is boost no matter how you acheive it. I don't think I want to run a street engine much past 13:1 or so.Originally posted by jeffrey leonard

2 superchargers have one downfall they will only produce so much power you can only get about 20lbs of boost max and then you run the risk of detonation if you get an air leak in between the carb and supercharger
I have toyed with the idea of adding a shot of nitrous to the blower, where does one stop??
I do like the idea of a turbo being lower profile than a blower.
