Nothing about twin centrifugal SCs is going to change the fact that they still make power in a linear fashion and *probably* aren't going to be able to match the torque output of a twin turbo setup. Because in most centrifugal type applications, boost is limited by RPM rather than by an active system (e.g. wastegate), having two smaller chargers will not necessarily give you the benefit of being able to spin them up faster and then bypass the extra boost (like a turbo).

If you want turbo-like torque from a supercharger, you have to go with different designs like a roots-type, twin screw, etc. These make significant boost at low RPM, but lose efficiency towards the top. With our V-platform and the intakes runners on the inside of the V, I actually think that such a SC would work well, but my guess it that space constraints are the problem.

With all this said, I am very excited to see the kind of results this kit puts out. I haven't seen any twin SC setups before so I am very curious about the performance.
