Default supercharger + twins

in the movie "Redline" there's a car with twin superchargers and also there's mini coopers with both supercharger and a turbo... so i thought has anyone put a supercharger + twin turbos on any car but to be more specific on a 350z. i know in the long run it wouldn't be worth the money but it would be interesting to see a car with a supercharger + twins. the supercharger would give you instant boost and once the twins kick in, . i haven't seen any thread on this so i thought i would just post it. would there be any pros or cons to it. how much difference would it make?

or just post your thought.

when turbos were newer technology, they had bad lag, some cars were made that used a suspercharger to compensate. It is known as an "Over Under" system. I will see if I can find any examples on line, I know the Jappanese used it as well.

yeah +1 on that, but now days you really don't need this type of setup if you have a well tuned TT with the right supporting mods. I've heard of people who run Nitrous to get the car going on a TT or ST, but you really don't see too many SC/TT combos anymore.

Superstreet had a Scoin with a trd sc and a tn single. Made good number very quickly. I really cant the benefit with twins though they spool fast enough and move plenty of air.
