I went back looking for some info on that truck, but was unable to locate it anymore.
IIRC, the truck does have the positive displacement blower bypassed at "higher" rpm (I believe it is rather aggresively pullied) in favor of the centri unit. I do remember the plumbing is rather complicated. And though I'm not sure, I suspect the pos. dis. blower is clutched to release when bypassed.
Regardless, SilverSnake is right about the turbo/super Lancia's of yore.
And that T-bird guy has a website, if I can scare it up I'll post it.
It's all about balance.

So how much faster would the Head gaskets go bad on theses double pumped machines?
Hmmm sweet setups

Joe Build 'em right, and they'll last longer than a stock motor

Actually the Eaton -roots type supercharger is volumetric meaning that it will only alow a given amount of air through its screws at a time- anyone noticed that the lightning revs are limited far lower than those on a standard f-150? tis because above the redline on the lightning the blower actually makes it difficult for the engine to breath and can cause dead cylinders. For this reason I fail to see the why of the twin blower setup- why a centerfugal supercharger running though a roots- when at a given rpm the roots wont supply more and the air supply curve levels off- so you cant get more "top end" with a volumetric supercharger in your system. sorry but I witnessed a 5.4L on a dyno the other day pull strong to 6500 and the torque/hp curve was still climbing.
