WOW!! wtf

How many have seen these electric supers. i was just looking on ebay for supers and ran acrossed an electric one. wow people are really trying to get some cheap power.

I was just wondering if they work. seems like it would, but on the other hand how much could it really help?

This is not cause i want one just amazed at what kind of people are in the world.

They work great at restricting airflow to your truck's engine.

I would imagine that good gains could be had for an engine of, say, 80cc or so.
But are too small to work on a real engine.

Here's a test that some guy did on his 3.6L Porsche motor...not sure why someone would put that crap on a Porsche:

...no gains.

This one works for small engines, but look at the battery pack that the guy uses:

He claims that a 2.0l engine requires a 30hp electric motor to spin a compressor fast enough to get gains. I don't think the charging system can provide enough juice to keep those bateries charged at any rate.
