Mark, you should do twins into a Radix for your next project, . 7-8lbs from the supercharger, and 10 from the turbos, 17-18psi... with instant throttle response, oh ya!!! I know Rick doesn't like compound boosting, but that would be so awesome!!! Probable get you in another mag.

How come Rick? Did I miss a thread where you explain the pro's and cons? Just curious for no reason at all...no really!

Its like compressing air twice. Air gets compressed and heated through one form, then you are taking whats left and doing it again. So now the margin per dollar is not great at all plus you have air that is super unstable at which it will constantly change too much.

Sorry Rick, I don't understand the problem. How does air become unstable (unless it has nitrous in it)? What difference does it make whether you get 18 psi from one source, or two - it's still 18 psi?

I get that it's not cost-effective, but what if that's not a concern...you would get the low-end of a blower, and the high-end of a turbo. Volkswagen is doing this with their TSI engine, for a combination of low displacement, good fuel economy, and increased power.
