Twin charger project?

You have a whole lot of potential for problems - "what is the goal?" would
be my first question.  If you want 400 hp or something for dragging, or a
killer daily driver, etc etc.  that can all be handled a number of routes,
but double-supercharging an engine adds weight and complexity where it
doesn't need to be.  I don't want to kill your idea, but there are so many
good turbo setups (various trims & hybrids) that it doesn't make much sense.
Hell, the variable vane Triumph Speed Triple I rode a while back was 955cc.
It made 180 hp.  And you could ride it like a grandma no problem.

I would think it would be too much work and probably fall short of a clean,
well designed turbo setup, or even a good centrifugal supercharger setup.
