I am also curious if there were any gains, hahaha. Probably better throttle response, other than that, nothing I bet.

Produce 250 cfm of Compressed Air Moving Power

Our heads stock flow like 220 on the intake, and we have two of them, so thats 440. It will just become a restriction. Not to mention if one of the blades break off nad get sucked into your engine. It might help at low rpms, but thats all.

Re: Electric "Supercharger"

Do a search, this gets asked alot for some reason.

Our engines flow WELL over the 280 cfm that thing produces. Most are simpley bilge pumps from the local aqua marine store

Re: Electric "Supercharger"

I know a guy that builds these things for like 40-50 bux and sells em for a good bit overa hundred. Moves a dozen or more a week. Between that crap and some other stuff he sells on ebay he makes as much as i do and does pretty much nothing. He even made some nice fake dyno charts and everything. Import crowd eats this stuff up like candy, then email him going WOW i REALLY feel it! This is the best $ i ever spent.... Oh well their happy hes happy, so oh well.

I dont know why everyone is against these....It's a well known fact these things work amazingly well if used with a Tornado & a fresh set of muffler bearings........

Only if your catalytic converter fluid has been recently changed, and you have the Stage 3 booster pack consisting of NOS stickers, Speerco seats, a boost gauge on an N/A car, and have the trim model of Type R.

Damn, thats pretty cool, but thats with a real electric motor it seems. Needs a lot of juice.

Re: Electric "Supercharger"

Yeah i've read about him, they actually do work, but have you seen picks of them? also they are almost as expensive as a belt driven supercharger, and they can only support up to like 2.0L engines.
