Not really! The twin-turbo kit, depending on the boost factor can only push
so much air/fuel through the TB on a stock motor. Maintainability is the
key for the stock engines, unless you planned to modify the stock motor to
handle the extra boost. I can hookup a ATI 8-10 PSI SC and have around
360-375 rear wheel HP. The 5.9 tested is pushing around 375HP at the rear
wheel and that is not SAE HP either.

Subject: DML: Re: Re: SciTeck-twin turbos (Jason)
I'm still learning about all of this and there are a lot of
other membrs who could explain better then I can, but ...
This twin turbo set-up (for v6's) involves two sequential
turbos. The first kicks in with low rpm's and the second kicks in
with mid to high rpm's. Therefore virtually eliminating any
turbo lag.
How do they compare to a supercharger? First and foremost
the supercharger is a lot simpler to install & maintain. I don't
know specifics, but that is the impression I've gotten from the DML
and a few others. As for horsepower & torque, I'm inclined to
say the the twin turbo set-up will blow the doors off a supercharger.
I know that this leaves a lot open and I'm hoping someone with
more knowledge steps in. I have yet to talk to Sciteck personally,
so there are a lot of unknowns in this.
