Mullet has a supercharger and twin turbos on his Ford GT. When that was not enough he added nitrous. Guess 2 power adders was just not enough

It took a while to find but 500 hp out of 1.8 litres for the eighties is pretty impressive.

Didn't a guy do a compound setup on a Silverado on here a few years ago with a single turbo and s/c? He ended up taking the s/c off because he couldn't make as much power with it, the s/c became a restriction. If I remember correctly he made more power with the single turbo. Maybe a 4L blower would be a better candidate.

I didnt think those blowers did well compound boosted because of the seals blowing out under boost. Thats why all the 03 cobra guys use stock eatons.
