it's cool as hell but, I don't really get the TT supercharged thing, I mean he advertises "when the supercharger runs out of steam the turbos take over" but I don't really get that. The blower is still between the turbos cramming air into the combustion chambers so I would think if the blower is "running out of steam" in the sense that it's hit it's peak as far as boost or air moving ability then why or how even would the twins move air moreso, the blower screws are still there, they didn't go away so they are still a barrier between the cylinders and the intake. Could be my lack of knowledge on the subject I suppose but my other argument is simply, 3 power adders and it only makes 850rwhp...sounds like more of a trick or bragging right thing to do to a Ford GT, just to say it has a blower and twins.

I'm really just curious to see what some of the more seasoned gearheads might have to say about something like this. Only supercharged/turbo car I can think of was the old Delta S4 rally car from the group b days of rally.

Some info on how it works, etc. here. I'll try and find more/better info. If you want, just look up compound boost in a search engine and see what you find.

I guess they could put a 200shot on it and get 1000rwhp! LOL , I just thought an 850hp (to the ground!) daily driver that doesnt look like every other car out there was sweet!! btw bought my mega millions ticket, keeping my fingers crossed....

The compound boost thing is cool but the blower does become a restriction and the car makes more power on turbo's alone. The power curve is a lot better with the twinscrew in place still. Now maybe replace that stock 2.3 twin screw with a 3.4 whipple and run the turbo's into that and you might get somewhere LOL

way over priced

Airflow characteristics of the blower change dramatically when boost is introduced into the inlet. I not sure how the blower would be any more of a restriction to the turbos than the engine itself would be. The blower supplies much more air to engine that it can draw in on its own. I wonder what the boost level is before and after the blower?

might be over priced, I am sure you could pick up a stock GT for 150K-160K and maybe have it built up this way for less BUT still its not your average daily driver!
