This video is WAY COOL!!!

that video is BAD!! i have been thinking some more on it, and i was looking in the hotrod book and found a procharger supercharger roducing 3,000 cfm air at 38 psi boost http://www.procharger.com/index.html for way cheaper than you can buy twin turbochargers and hook them up. and i was thinking about running the supercharger off a briggs and stratton in the bed of the truck so there is absolutely no parasitic power loss to the engine. unless i want to run it through a turbocharger to boost it up to about +/- 50 psi with very little parasitic loss, or use it on my cummins powered, super-over-turbocharged jetboat with a 3-1 overdrive gear running the prop. with water cooled aftercoolers i know i'm not right in the head sometimes, i just wish i had enough money to do all these crazy ideas i dream up.

 

Ain't it though!!!...
I loved how the workers in the background just kept on weldin' when that baby was spooled up... Bet they've heard it many times before...
I know I'd be right there with fingers jammed into each ear watchin' that Turbo-Woodstove convert that wood to heat and noise!!!

Banks, it is probably fortunate that I realize I am "Financially Embarrassed" when it comes to some of these unusual ideas!

Oh, by the way... You might better think about a bigger "Briggs and Stratton" after you realize how much horsepower its gonna' take to pump that much air for our CTD's!
