Those "blowers" on that thing are 3.3L Lysholm (Whipple) twin-screw compressors. Judging from the size of the pullies installed that thing is moving a HEAP of air. It has two superchargers in parallel because one would not provide the needed volume. Just to give you an idea of the capabilities of that setup, that's 6.6L of twin-screw displacement. The Whipple supercharger for the 7.4L (454) Vortec is a single 1.6L unit.
EDIT:Ignore the above, I wasn't paying attention probably due to my drunkardness at the time of posting and that info is totally wrong.
They really are Eaton M112 Roots Blowers.
Thank You BlownChevy for setting me straight.

I've seen some twip whipple setups too!
It looks pretty sick, but I would think that it's got to cost a lot to make a lot with a setup like that.
Oh yeah, back in the day when pro-street was king, there was this twin supercharged twin turbo'd car. I heard that it didn't even run, because they could never tune it properly.

With that supercharger I seen it run a very low 13 at Firebird.

Those blowers are the MP112 that we built for him.
