Here's one. They look cool but usually it is only for the visual appearance. Bob

Why don't you just put another engine in the trunk.

I just picked up the oct issue of kit car builder and in it there is a 67 427 cobra replica made after Bill Cosby and Carol Shelby's cars' that had twin paxton's. Bill Cosby's was too fast for him so he sold it, and the next owner drove it off a cliff on the pacific coast hwy

Haha! I was actually being somewhat sarcastic, but I haven't seen anybody actually put 2 engines in 1 car.

There was a twin engine talon here that had two built 2.3L talon motors, ran 10.6@135 or something like that... There was also a twin engine tiberon that ran 10's, it was in a sport compact shootout magazine or something....

Are there any guys running Twin Charged setups on here? I am not talking twin turbo'es or twin supers, I am talkin one roots or twin screw supercharger being fed by a very large turbo. This is becoming a little more popular now, I did it to my old car over two years ago, pretty cool for what it was....

Like Bob stated. It's form over function. It's like having real diamonds in your rims. Useless unless you have more money than you know what to waste it on.

There was a twin compounded F2 setup (one F2 feeding the other) that just ran 3.9x in the 1/8th last month.
