There was a video of a twin blown avalanche floating around and it would light up the tires with no problem in that heavy sob so I would say it was for go more than show even though it looked badass.

I saw a video not to long ago that involved a stingray vette with twins. It was nasty. Come to think of it, it was on a site called nasty performance or nasty racing or something like that.

The recent Truckin' magazine had an article on a Hummer and sand rail. The 'rail had a twin blown GenII motor putting out crazy HP. The kit does exist, like said I think it is Magnacharger tho.

yes there is an advantage......you don't have to spin them as fast to make boost when you have 2. think no belt slip and tiny pullies to make big boost......it goes back to the old 'no replacement for displacement' 2 superchargers can displace twice the amount of air (boost)

This is not all show......
