Super charger/ Turbo pics
Where in Denver are you? I live in Castle Rock and would love to be able to check out this setup in person.

The turbo can support about 1000hp and the supercharger is needed to help spool the turbo. The idea here is to build a car that makes 800awhp with stock like spool. I live in Denver so the altitude would never allow me to use such a large turbo without a supercharger. The supercharger is covered with tape in the picture to prevent it from scratches while the car's being finished. I have more pictures that I can post later of the manifold, liquid to air intercooler etc.

The beauty of a supercharger like that is that you can retain your AC

questions, why such a large turbo?
if everything is done as planned, how fast do you think it would be?
why isn't NOS used to help spool the turbo?

My goal is to have a 9 second car at 5800 feet above sea level. We are also doing what we can to lighten the car while retaining all safety features and a full interior. The car has a Gailla hood and front bumper, StaSIS rotors, Monster Sport CF trunk, and Volk TE37 Magnesium wheels that weight 12.5 lbs. Much more to be done in this area including carbon fiber drive shaft, etc. Every trick in the book is being thrown at this car. I'll post pictures as the project progresses. Thanks.

guess somebody finally did it.
me and few people talked about this last year. I didn't think anyone was crazy enough to actually do it. lol
great job!
I would love to see some numbers. Also, I'm thinking you have a sequential setup? That's what we talked about. Supercharger spooling up at around 2500 rpm then supplementing a large turbo that spools up at 6000 rpm.
Then you'll have the low end without nitrous aide, but have super induction topend power without loosing low and mid range torque.
I like your hood by the way.
I'm thinking you can't drive this in the rain and is a dedicated race car first before street car.
