Here in Oklahoma City there is a PSE Superchargers location and the owner had this truck at a local show a few months ago. I didn't think much of it at first and almost walked past it. Then I looked at the engine. He has built the only twin-supercharged Lightning in the world. I just found a video of it and thought I would share.

Now we need someone crazy enough to do it to an Explorer!

Wow, awesome find.

That is one sick Lightning, I don't know how much of a sleeper it is with supercharger whine like that, lol.

Would not want to work on either of those chargers, talk about no space.

I've only ever seen a twin supercharged vehicle in magazines before. And it was a charger or something that had the twin chargers stacked on top of each other sticking way out through the hood. So I'm impressed he made that all fit. Only slightly related, but didn't someone talk about doing twin exhaust turbos and supercharging their X on this forum?

There was a T-Bird someone had done twin Eatons on some time ago, but not nearly to the success this one did. Pretty cool. I bet it sounds like a pack of screaming demons at full tilt.
