Did Banks take our name?

"Known internally at Banks as the Super-Turbo, this blown and twin-turbo'd 6.6L Duramax engine was built for a military-spec offshore boat."

Is it just me or is that supercharger really tiny? With it upstream of the turbos and maxed out in RPM, there is no more power potential for the engine without upgrading the supercharger or using nitrous.
