Default Re: Ford GT with both supercharger and twin turbo

You Assume too much... here we go... why didn't you post this in your first post? Why do you post such CRAP as in your first post? You are correct about Max HP, you are correct about ineffiencies of each system. But the post is not about air/fuel, because I mentioned it doesnt mean that was my point, my point was that you seemed uneducated by the way you posted and you may not know a dang thing about compound boost.

Ineffiencies are inherent with different types of boost, but thats not the point of a Supercharger Turbo combo. It's the best of both worlds, insane top end hp AND low end power. Your comparsion/reasoning fails because the ineffiencencies dont combine to be uber ineffiecient. You also dont mention at what cost to HP are the ineffiencies? I'll answer it, it's not enough to say this system is retarded. Way way far from it.

Supercharged turbos have been in use for the last 30 years. It's used a ton in Diesal applications. If you want to get all specific it's called compound boost. It helps generate serious low-end torque and still breathes easily upstairs. Another benefit is that it allows high boost pressures without high turbo speeds, keeping the compressors in a more efficient range.

It is NOT "retarded" and "inefficient" In fact Volkswagen is coming to market THIS YEAR with a 1.4-liter engine that will feature a turbo blowing into a supercharger induction system. Not only that but Hellion is also coming to market with a system for Ford Modulars... (wouldnt suprise me if this isn't a Hellion System)

They say... "For those brave enough and in need of the excess, check out the turbo/supercharger system. It will not disappoint your appetite for ridiculous power levels. We watched this setup throw out a certifiably insane 1,188 rwhp and an even more impressive 1,015 rwtq-through a stock engine including the factory cast-iron exhaust manifolds...."

It is certifiably ridiculouse to spout off about parasitic loss when your talking about over 1000 HP, parasitic loss may be 50 HP MAX at 6000 RPM woopee, that's not WAY more power... Joe's GTTT throws down 1000 + with HUGE turbo's, that's only good for roll racing. A twin turbo roots combo is fast out of the hole AND insane at speed.
