Default Electric Supercharger

I found a web site selling a electric supercharger that says it adds 4-6% of HP (5-15HP) it goes where the CAI would go, just wondering if it is any good and if anyone had any experience with it.

Here's the website:Electric Supercharger

A set of headers would cost you at least that much and get about the same gains, so i dont see how it's not worth the price. Though it is more technology, so more chance of something going wrong.

As seen on TV!

the only power increase you're going to see from one of those is after you press the gas pedal harder.

Pure unadulterated bunk and hogwash.

You'd be better off to hook up a leaf blower to your intake and try that.

While it actually works, a good intake and 1.8 or 2.0 cam will do more for less. and the leaf blower works to but 2-3 hp more hell spend your money else where .
