Is anybody offering up a supercharger kit to add to our turbos?

I doubt it very seriously. Compound positive displacement systems are very difficult to coordinate/control.

I'd imagine that upgrading the turbos would be easier, less expensive, and more effective. But I'm new to Ford an FI in general.

With as many of these Ecoboost 3.5/2.7 engines out there wouldn't you expect there to a whole slew of affordable drop-in monster boost turbo upgrades?

Just try to get them past many of the states inspections with after market turbos and such. Lessens the demand.

Why would you? the complication plus heat management would be a total PITA.

That's a lot of work versus swapping for larger turbos.
Gotta build the motor first anyways.

This dude ditched the s/c for twin turbos on his GT (which is totally irrelevant for this post, but to counter a post above anyway) https://www.motor1.com/news/77647/th...g-for-300-mph/

I've never been much for sports cars, but the Ford GT has always been one badass vehicle..

Dependability is just so important to every day driving. Every engine is a series of compromises, and when you step over the line it's going to cost you dearly.
