that sounds like a great idea, cant' wait to see that in action in something notable, preferably with comparisons to a single-supercharged vehicle of the same model.

hmm .. i've been think about a 2 step turbo/super charger for a while now ...
lets wait for some dyno charts ... im guessing they increase the efficency somewhere between 40-60% :roll:

i wonder.. if the SLR supercharger needs about 120HP (i think..) just to run it.. how much would this kind of rig need? :shock: 300? :lol: :lol:
