2 Paxtons on a TPI setup

Hello everyone... Im a newcomer

However, I have never been sucked deeper into the
world of the F-body, then these past few weeks.

I have a very clean 5.7L TPI 350, im runnin hypertech
ECU controls and some nice Lucas Octane booster.
I managed to remove and (beat the **** out of) the
nasty Y-pipe thats been plagueing this <A TITLE="Click for more information about car" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||cars|AA1VDw">car</A> since the start.
The true duals help the car breathe a hell of a whole lot
more. All this and its still not producing what I need ...

... ok ok .. not need, but want really bad.

I turned my head to Paxton Superchargers. I saw how 1
of those units just fits just right in there without changin
visual appearance. However, I wanna set not 1 paxton but
(2) of them .. one on each side. A friend mentioned
fabricating a pipe in a (W) shape. So it takes the super-
charged air from both of the paxtons and sends it into the
Throttlebody in one 2 1/2-3in diameter pipe. I said its risky
and your gunna need to have a custom ECU chip made
for all that forced induction air.

I figure Forced Induction is the best way to go
If you wanna maintain exterior stock appreance.
Or u can jus get a monster Blower and cruise it
around all day

Tell me what you guys think ..

Over kill is one of my Motto's however

1 blower can get 9's even 8's on street legal cars.

Doesn't matter........ I'll race them all!

What is it with you and bringing up dead threads lately? Most of the people haven't logged on in years.
