    This is my 49 Mercury flathead with a Jerry Magnusson 220 twin supercharger.

    Does anybody else have one of these units?

    Wow, never saw one of those before. Well done. Is there an advantage to using 2 blowers instead of just one?

    Free bump by asking:

    Can you give us any build details on the engine?

    Yep, and the answer is: You get to the finish quicker....

    Awesome setup, and I have never seen another. Uncommon Engineering has the only setup that is close. Twin 4-71's on a pyramid manifold.

    Ive always thought it'd be cool to get a reverse grind cam and feed a blower into each exhaust manifold.....

    But on a practical standpoint 2 blowers are pointless
