>TLDR: can you run a centri supercharger on an LS1 with a on/off (boost/NA) mode?
An anon mentioned running his turbod V8 with "wastegates open" to help pass emissions - essentially making his turbo V8 temporarily naturally aspirated.
Would there be any fuel economy benefits to this? I like the idea of a car literally having a "turbo" button that could be toggled based on the scenario. Dailying my LS1 NA at 300HP and then being able to switch on the fly to a supercharged 450HP would be dope Af.
I have an 02 Camaro SS with longtube headers, so a traditional turbo setup would go back on the build. A normal supercharger sounds boring AF, would rather do something more plug-n-play like a procharger kit.

nice twin turbo setup op

If you're worried about mpgs, forced induction is not for you. Buy an economy car, turn Camaro into weekend warrior car. A supercharger continuously drags on the engine because it's attached to a belt, even if you can turn it on or off somehow. At cruising speeds you wouldn't be making boost anyway.

Serious question doe, why would anyone mount two fucking alternators like this?

In the scenario I'm speaking of, the supercharger could be "disengaged" from the engine. By running the turbo "open" or somehow disengaging the pully to remove parasitic loss.

Won't work. The supercharger is always hooked up via belt. If you stopped it the air would have a tougher time making it through the engine having to go through the non moving internals. Non sure what this turbo thing is anon had, but it sounds like it's purely for cheating emission tests more than using it to save gas. As long as you don't go into boost, your mpgs will not change much.

It works for turbo engines. You basically set the target boost pressure to wastegate and it opens around 3 psi. Usually used as a limp mode.

more boost

in terms of weight this would be a bad way to do it
but a centrifugal clutch could be used to run a centrifugal super charger at two different gear ratios
much more simple than the cvt system that pro-charger has

Toyota did it in the 80's when they supercharged the MR2, it runs a clutch very similar to your A/C compressor. That's why they have that little Supercharger LED on the dash, it lets you know when it's engaged.
The only real problem is the clutch does eventually wear out and need replaced.
