pLEASE DON'T flame me for this. You've all head of twin turbos I assume. How come no one has ever tried a twin blower. For example, two ATI blowers being spun by the crank routed into the intake ?

No its not a dumb question, there was a pic of a Viper in the Multimedia section that had twin Vortechs. I remember when PHR tv was on television, they had an Iroc Camaro that had a PS2 in it along with a 383 and twin Paxtons I just wish I could find more info on the car
