Default has anyone ever done a turbo/twin-tubro A/C Cobra?

There is a wicked supercharged one running around my parts, got me to thinking the other day- anyone ever built a turbo or TT A/C Cobra? If you were going to build one- what powerplant would you start with?

the last one si a good example of my kind of "dream engine" i would propably sell the stack injection and install a singleplave and carb, or get one without the big buck induction...

but an engine like that in a 2400 lbs cobra would make for one scary ride...

but in reality all you really need is an ls3 with carb and you have a car that is beyond most drivers to use to its full potential
