Anyone know of a kit that is for sale? I'm considering a compounded boost setup if I don't get the numbers I'm looking for after my build.
 
Very interesting...

Will be waiting for more details...
 
I'm expecting between 750 & 800 RWHP. That's with fully ported race heads, 9.5 to 1 compression, custom cam, the first Roe intercooler and ported intake. If I get to 800 RWP, I'll be satisfied. If not, I'm thinking of using the STS system to feed the Roe. Maybe only on demand with the use of an electric cutout to feed the turbocharger and another on the Roe intake tube to redirect the boost coming from the turbocharger.

Well I ended up going at this alone. I have the intercooler cores. I'm waiting on the water connections to arrive from Sweeden before I can start mocking everthing up. I will be discussing this with Sean daily and providing pictures of the progress. His input will be the key to making this really work versus just slapping a set of cores in there and calling it intercooled.
 
Compound boost is very cool but you're looking at it the wrong way. The supercharger makes the low end grunt and screaming torque while spooling up the turbo which takes over for high power on the big end of the RPM band. This is more popular with small displacement motors like Ford 4.6 liter modular motors, big turbo power but without the huge lag. Our engines are big enough that turbo lag isn't a problem even with a big honking single.

The Roe will make all you want down low. The turbo won't force the Roe to build any more power any earlier and the Roe can only move so much air. In other words a smaller pulley gets you the same result with a lot less expense.
