chale!!, ok, that thing got 3 years here in Mexico, and people claims that it works well, that gives from 4 to 8HP a single unit, and helps a lot in Turbo Charged cars.

Save your money. It's an interesting idea in theory, but in practice it can't generate enough boost to do you any good and in fact might actually restrict airflow. There are more cost effective ways to make power.

In theory, it could be workable. In practice, nearly all of the ones I've seen on the market use way too small a motor. You would need a motor rated at several kilowatts to get any decent level of boost on a slant six (I haven't done the calculations, but it's pretty big). A heater blower motor just won't cut it.

Naw, man, you're barkin' up the wrong tree. You gotta git you a squirrel cage supercharger. The kind powered by actual squirrels.

I wanna hear about the squirrel powered supercharger, there are lots of squireels around here, is the squirrel to horse powere ratio reasonable enough?

This idea might be nuts!!

Thanks for the replies guys...Seems like this might be written about in a 1950's issue of Popular Mechanics or Popular Science... or maybe as a kit from Heathkit...
