Ok, I want to get some input on this idea I have been messing around with for a while.
I have a 91 cougar 5.0L. I was thinking of doing a twin supercharged setup using the eaton M90 blowers, and a custom upper intake manifold. The idea would be to replace the upper intake with a structure that will serve as a plenum accepting the boost from both blowers as well as have a frame that holds the blowers in place. Here is the catch. If I build this, I can not afford to have a second car. Nor do I want to have 2 blowers running at all times as that would quickly kill my engine, not to mention my gas mileage. I was thinking about running the blowers by an electric motor, and having an electric linear actuator set up so that one switch would simultaneously start the blowers spinning and seal off an intake hole that would be used to bypass them whenever I have them switched off. I know I would have to have a custom hood with probably at least a 4" rise to clear all the plumbing and everything, but I just want to know if anyone sees any problems. I will post a sketch of the design at this address.

Let me know what you think. Thanks.
