So when the reference is made to “twin-supercharged,” does that mean there is one supercharger feeding each bank of cylinders? Or that the first supercharger feeds into the second supercharger, which feeds into both banks of cylinders?

Or that the two supercharges feed into both banks (two superchargers feeding one set of plumbing, feeding into both banks)?

It would appear from the picture that this is the method of cramming air into the engine chosen by the designer... that intake manifold... that(those) blow-off valve(s)... :| daaaaaaamn.

From what it looks like on the listing, it’s two superchargers feeding a single inlet plenum that then splits to feed each bank...

Seems like a bigger single supercharger would be better all round, but less ridiculous...

A supercharged 5.3 V12 in a car with swing axles designed for a 1.3 or 1.5.

What could possibly go wrong?

If there was ever a car that could do backflips because of crazy power, big fat grippy rear tires and really light weight....

this might be the one.

Well, it depends. You can mechanically spool up two small blowers more easily than a big one, just like turbos if not as critical. Efficiency goes down in steady state, efficiency when dropping the go-faster pedal goes up- fewer horses robbed when accelerating. Welcome back, by the way.
