Default Supercharger?

I was just wondering has anyone ever done a dual centrifugal supercharger set-up before? I was thinking about doing it to a small block that i have but wondering it would work or would it be pointless?

W2W has a dual rotrex kit for LS1s. I'm sure its possibly for older small block chevy's as well.

I think its possible but why not get 1 large one. 2 would be alot of brackets and piping. And were do you put the altenator? One f2r should just about do it. lol.

it can be done, just requires more work than normal. take a look at W2W set up. they use Rotex blowers. these things are great and run really quiet. also thanks to their small size they would be reasonably easy to package.

y not just use a big one from procharger
they have a procharger setup for a SBC blow-thru with p600b
or p1sc version
i had mine for about 2 years making over 500+ to the crank with a
cast crank and hyper pistons and factory rods with a summit cam
with cast iron heads and pump gas runnin 10 psi with meth injection
i paid about 500$ for the rebuild of the SBC
and bout 1500$ for the blower system
also i used a modified mechanical fuel pump with no intercooler and 650 DP
it was in a 82 camaro with a th400
there are blowers available to produce in excess of 1000+
witha single unit
dont really see the point in using 2 small ones
also think about the stress they would put on your crank
crank snout,bearings etc.
you would have to use a big block snout crank with keyed pulleys/gears

I've seen that on cars being sold a Barrets auction (on TV) it looked really cool and they made some crazy claims for power. It obviously can be done and would make some massive power but would be alot of work. But if you are up for it I say do it just for the wow factor alone.
