I've seen the pics. And all this time I thought it was BS. That dude is missing chromosomes or something! SIC, S/C, SIC!

I look at it this way, Its one of a kind and here we are on a Marauder Messageboard talking about him. He made his mark in the automotive world and on the internet.

Kinda like a Engineer driving a Diesel Locomotive. Keep your head to the left

Here's a still pic from that day .... with the hood removed. Did I hear him say that he's never put it on the 1320'. Gotta find out when he plans to run it at Capitol Raceway ..... might be a good time/place for an MM meet.

What Idle ???
All I hear is the engine surging up and down.
His mixture is either too lean or too rich, or worse, he has an air leak somewhere.

I'd like to see it go down the 1/4 mile, just to see the engine go POP ! :eek:

I assume that the top S/C is feeding the bottom S/C. The only advantage I can see is the the pressure into the bottom S/C is higher. I doubt there is any additional air flow. I could be wrong. It's sort of like a two-stage piston air compressor. The first stage is a large bore cylinder that feeds it's exhaust of say 90 psi into a smaller bore cylinder that takes that air and pressurized it to 150 psi.

No real advantage at all....just awesome looking eye candy!

ONE properly sized blower would produce just as much, if not more HP, than TWO because of the reduced parasitic losses.

When I saw the guy at the UPS show he said that he was going to remove one blower when he ran it at the drag strip.
