For installation time, we are estimating 16 hours since we were able to leave a lot of the factory components and accessories undisturbed. Overall, it is a very straightforward kit to install. Several systems have been sold already and the parts we are installing right now are our production parts.
It's a great looking kit so far! Without asking you to divuldge too much info, will the 2 SC's be comparable to the single SC stage 2 kit, or will it fit somewhere else?

More torque.... build power quicker. It's similar to a single turbo / twin turbo difference

Just like the twin turbo setup. The 1000hp intercooler covers the radiator. It's fine.

Yes, but this has an extra layer completely blocking the radiator. So it's IC -> intermediate coolers -> radiator, rather than HUGE IC -> radiator.

Oil coolers are typically mounted between the intercooler and radiator on our Twin Turbo Kits as well. No difference really. Just bear in mind that there is always going to be a compromise somewhere.

Here's an updated picture of our Twin S/C. We're just finalizing the belts right now.

Trust us, the radiator is still in there. Somewhere. I Think? Hey Bob, did we put the radiator back in the car?

i love how every time i finally talk myself out of going FI on my Z and save up for a GT-R you guys always have something new and awesome for FI

awesome job guys twin superchargers look sick. excited to see some numbers and then try to talk myself out of TT and now TSC lol

also sidenote: will there be any complications with this kit and a 7AT transmission? i dont know if its been talked about yet in this thread.

Will these work with LTH's at all? I understand it's still being tested, just wondering if it's already been identified. Same question goes for really large oil coolers. I have a 72 row on my vehicle.
