Yeah, i wasn't entirely serious of purchasing this. But on a whim i thouhgt it might be some random item that "make-go-fast".
I'm thinking about looking around for a WRX hoodscoop hood. Probably when I get around painting it.
Anyone know any good idea's what could be done with airbox/air intake?

I read a story about a group of people that built engines, and had an engine dyno, put one of those electric supercharger things on a 350 to see if it actually did anything, and at 4500 RPM the air flow through the fan blades caused them to spin so fast that the fan blew apart, and sucked the bits into the engine and locked it up solid., they discovered that it DID produce a little bit of push at idle, but beyond that, the fan couldn't spin fast enough to even keep up with the air flow that the engine was sucking through on it's own.

You have to be joking right???

There is no 12V turbine, fan or supercharger that can lift 1psi for any required CFM's by any engine.... not even a 1.0lts engine.

The leaf blower is a BIG blower plugged to a 110V source with high amperage consuption.... forget it.... unless you can drive your car with an electrical cord long enough to go from your house to wherever you drive

No way it can happens.... waste of money... scam.... garbage.... i'd rather give that money to a meth addict....
