wouldnt that just put a restriction in the air flow at WOT? It seems like it might just lose more power at full throttle.

170cfm.

I don't know if our motors have low enough compression to handle that.

See other post.

i don't know if if would increase it 170. that seems a little much. to bad it didn't have a pic of what the blades look like to see if there big or small, but my guess is that it's a wast of money. but you can buy it for 65 or so then put it on your car then pay $100 to dyno your car and see if it was worth it and let us know!!

HAHA! If it flows 170cfm I'm sure it will restrict the air intake. I can't believe people fall for this stuff, then again I can.

He's right, 170cfm like blowing through a straw. could you imagine putting a 170cfm carburetor on a SB Chevy. What a bunch of I hope nobody here bought one those.

Isn't that just one of those ducted fan motors for RC airplanes? Looks like a cheap one at that.

People buy them because they think that they will get an increase of 170 cfm. But what's really happening is the intake is restricted to 170 cfm. I don't know how people can sell these things to people.

Thanks god for the ricers for these sellers! Maybe some of us should get into this! Whats the difference a big 50lbs 3 layer aluminum wing that dents the lid, and only adds drag, or a 170cfm electric supercharger? Both are stupid and sure the hell doesn't make them any faster.
