Plumb the supercharger to the Turbo then the Turbo into another Turbo and you'll have twin charged twin turbo power. Then plug a water mister into the exhaust to cool it post Turbo to cool the exhaust gases to lower the gas pressure in the pipe to spool the first Turbo faster. Then stick a pulse jet where the cat used to be to further spool the second Turbo and inject memory foam into the supercharger housing to completely seal the thing for maximum efficiency.

It is hard to imagine that you forgot anything but you neglected to add a supercharger downstream in the exhaust to recapture the lost exhaust energy and return it to the drivetrain mechanically.

This is actually being done by OEMs currently and was done initially during the second world war.

Direct exhaust gas injection, IMHO. Far superior option, I'll be making a build thread about it. I'll be utilizing 5th,6th, and 7th injectors. I'll be running about 5 degrees of spark or less to get the lowest EGTs recorded on a BP motor. Gas mileage is not a concern.

I just use NOS energy drink in the gas tank. Passing cars that cost 5x as much as mine with ease.

V8>*

Unless you want to consider

SCV8>TurboV8>Turbo>SC

Above is due to packaging issues only and not because I think a SC is better than a turbo.

I would choose based on your driving style and power needs. Both have good and bad qualities depending on the usage.

I personally prefer Turbo charging, heat is not an issue if the inter cooling is set up to be efficient
