Ok here it is. I'm in the middle of planning an overhaul of my 82' Dodge pickup and was wanting to supercharge my engine. Roots style looks bad *** but I hear a lot of good things about the centrifugal style. Also due to ease of installation and inter-cooling it's what I'll probably go with. Hood clearance too. Even though that scoop/carbs coming out of the hood looks wicked, it's just more work than I need right now.
So about the engine. I have an almost new crate 360/408 stroker (long and irritating story) that I'm going to gut out and rebuild; little lighter 4340 forged internals, 10.0-1 compression, aftermarket heads, custom cam, exhaust, converter, ect. ARP everywhere. TCI trans. with gear venders overdrive. Upgrade the suspension and bulletproof the Dana 60 out back.
So I'm going to go this far right? Why not supercharge it?!?
I'm not to familiar with superchargers though as this will be my first, and I got to thinking (which I do too much of), what if I could get a dual 4barrel intake and run two centrifugals? Link below:

That looks freakin cool right??? Plus it would let me used two carbs with chokes, and still give me the option of monster cfms, since it will be drivable on the street. But I was thinking I might run into back pressure issues, or would I not due to the belt driven aspect. Anyway if I tune down the boost on each is it possible? And any other info y'all could give as this will be my first time supercharging an engine. Thanks!
