      Well it depends on how, much pressure and volume you can use. What Flex has done is to take a pair of off the shelf F2 Prochargers and have performance equal to the much more expensive Pro Mod PSI twin screw blower. If he were to do as you suggest and run an larger F3 into and F2 or two F2's into one F2 then the resulting pressure and heat would be much more than his engine could utilise.

      If we look at the inner workings of jet engines the multi-stage compression can be achieved with either a larger slower spinning impeller or faster smaller impeller.
      I think due to packaging and compressor efficiency reasons the twin same size blowers at different speeds worked out to be adequate...

      The idea has been proved viable due to his record breaking run. It just hadn't been done when I first had the idea... I'm now just looking to see if it can be used out of the 3500hp arena and in our lowly 1000hp and below arena............
