    Don't think you'll get any semblance of a good review on stuff like that. Waste of money.

    From superchargertuning's site: "...will increase both the engines' output horsepower by about 80 times and..."

    Ok the engine is rated around 230ish HP going from memory. Bolting this on gives "about" 18,400 HP????? All from a 130amp max alternator?

    electric supercharging and turbo charging is certainly possible for short bursts of time, but the problem is the electrical systems on cars (without modification) simply does not have the capacity to sustain it - I know both subaru and BMW have been experimenting with adding it to production vehicles to provide instant boost from a stop without the need of exhaust energy - however what you are reading above is pure shenanigans

    Some guys on YouTube strapped 5 of the big leaf blowers they could fine($1600 worth) in the back of the car ran them all to one pipe to the engine and gained like 30 horsepower. Think it was a 350 small block.

    It on the motor trend channel on YouTube.

    yeah they have tested a lot of these before and none of them added any horsepower. Those motors would have to be very large to be able to compress air fast enough for any gains to be seen. So I wouldnt waste my time or money on anything like that. Spend the money on a throttle body spacer instead.
