    if anything it could restrict air flow.

    For instance your cooling fan switches on with the ac on, til you reach a certain speed (usually highway speed) then its switched off because more air can flow through the fins and onto the engine with it off then with it on, with it on the pressure would just bank up and cooling goes right down ...

    same principal with this

    There is a term we use in the motor game that refers to gullible people that buy everything that they don't need, or doesn't do anything, they are called Wood Ducks. Because these people exist, there will always be a market for products like this.

    wow 2 - 10% gains (sarcasm)

    Force Flow Electric Supercharger Performance Guarantee

    Force Flow Electric Supercharger systems can produce gains of between 2-10% in overall power output (Horse Power or Kilowatts), with average gains of around 5%. Force Flow must however recognise that there are many contributing factors to the gains seen on any given vehicles, including engine size, engine type, current intake system, air sensor types, installation methods etc. Therefore Force Flow can not offer a performance guarantee of 4-6% on all vehicles (generally 95% of all vehicles under 5.0 litre displacement).
