^^Yup. This is the first one I saw that got me to thinking it might be fun to try. I've had a turbo car, and have a truck with a blower now, just wanted to try something different, especially if I could do it without spending the money on 2 complete new kits that will have alot of the components not used due to the non-standard install.

I'm quite sure I can get the HP levels I am wanting just with the Trick kit, but that wasn't the point

Obviously it would be better to work with one but in my case my little maggie will only do about 9psi on the 6.0L without getting way out of its efficiency range. Of course I could go out and buy the bigger stuff available now but could get the boost a lot cheaper with what I have.

If I remember correctly If I add like 1psi to the inlet of the maggie it would equal 4 psi to the intake. To get to 14-15 psi you would only need to run the turbo side at like 3 or 4 psi or even better pulley up the blower to run in its sweet spot and up the turbo psi.

I honestly don't think it would be to difficult and a cheap way to go with some big boost.

You could also install an intercooler, in the true sense of the word, i.e a cooler between the two compressors.

If anyone wants this set up, we can go from the turbo to a killer water to air IC, wih a massive heat exchanger. For both Intercoolers. then to your blowers inlet area. And it will all fit and look like if belongs there. one thing to concider is the final costing will be a little higher then the norm. But we have blowers laying around, and of coarse turbos to pull this off. Whos willing.

Ok, one big thing you are missing here. HEAT!!!! Nothing like a hot *** posi blower on top the motor and now a pair of twins in the engine bay.

it would be fun to try. i would go with a radix just cause the whipple looks silly on the side of the motor. the radix would be easier to plumb the cold pipes too.

a 6.0 with a t76 will make over 600rwhp with very little lag, a 76 on a 408 has no lag at all. also a 6.0 with one of the new maggys will make over 600rwhp with no lag at all. to make any sence other than for bling i wouldn't try it unless you are shooting for lag free 800+rwhp.

i dont think the heat would be any worse than a single compresor. cooler if you duel intercooled it.

Fun! That's it! I was honestly not looking for stupid HP numbers, just maybe some healthy numbers from throttle roll-on to redline, and something that would be different. The more I research it, it looks like the front inlet style maggies would work best, but that throws doing this on any kind of a budget (I hate that word!) out the window.

The heat is the only problem I see, but with good I/C's, a lot of meth, and E85 it would work rather well. You could run the Trick low mount kit to make more room under the hood, and get rid of some heat. That kit is cheeper too.
