yea its possible y0. the two seperate units would actually work well with each other. but its diffinately worth the effort to add both.

I have seen it on a display motor, but the real question is why? car show value?

look at the added weight to a already heavy motor, waste of time if you ask me.

adding a super to a twin turbo set up will add about 20 pounds to the total weight of the motor. eat less burgers and that takes car of that.

secondly, when you think about it, it would actually be a good idea, if you wanted to use bigger, slower spooling but higher flow turbos, and you wanted instant go power, then use the super to cover until the turbos spool. but it will be more complex and i'd like to see the poor bastard that has to tune that.

imo, probably not really worth the extra effort, cash and time, but if you want to, go for it.

Uhh... the Hemi has 5.7L of displacement. Spoolup times is NOT an issue.

Yes,yes it is possible.....just like it's possible to strap a Shuttle solid rocket fuel booster to a garbage truck,although I've heard finding NASA's parts catalogue can be a tad tricky..

it's been done several times and covered in hot rod magazine and others

eg http://www.auburnmoon.com/1965_nova_ss.htm

OK it's not a hemi but seem to recall 1 with turbo/huffer/nos built in the 60's.
