Ive been having a bit of a look around and come across these electric "superchargers". http://www.force-flow.com

Has anyone had any experience with any of these or similar type setups? Dont know if its worth a few hundred bucks just to test it out and see what theyre using and maybe better their design.

Ive looked into it a bit and being a model air plane enthusiast I know there are ducted fan setups for model planes that can produce up to 20psi of force and some motor/fan setups ive been looking into that could probably double that.

Any info, preferably from people who know what theyre on about, would be good.

Strap a hair dryer to your intake, about the same gain.

ive seen them work on smaller motors. 1.3 etc
they will struggle to do anything on anything bigger then a 2ltr.

so basicly there no really worth it

much better buying a garden blower/vac unit and strapping that to your intake, it would work a lot better

yep, you seen the one where they also crack open a NOS bottle directly into the intake stream. impressive power gains if your only after a dyno graph to compare with your mates :whistling
