Its a Stainless steel metal which is shaped in a way for air to be forced in the intake as a vortech, which supposidly gives better atomization and combustion, But since TPI's arent exactly Free flowing there gonna do squat for u. They sell those from a company for $72.00 its not worth it.

B4Ctom1 - That Toro is a sweet setup (thank gawd it is on a Ford!).

BTW, do you run a generator in the trunk or 3 miles of power cord?

Didn't they actually make an electric supercharger a couple of years bcak. I remeber something like that. I must not have went far.

Can you picture the guy saying" I got a supercharged Camaro" Then he opens the hood and he's got an onion mincer stuck in his intake plumbing. It would be hard to hold back the laughs.

more....

this is funny...

Q9: What car's get the best boost?
A: This is hard to nail down specifically, the condition of each car is different, however, sport cars usually get more dramatic results.

Q13: Where is the product made?
A: It is made in the United States of America.

He should of said in my house...

Q15: How many units can I put in my car?
A: If you have an EFI type car, you may install two (2) units for a near double boost.

WHAT A JOKE!!!

this guy should be banned from ebay...its probally a computer cooling fan...

Track test results are in.....

Before supercharger 14.62 @ 97.35 2.01 60'

After 13.21 @ 104.3 1.91 60'


This is no lie.

This gave me better performance than the neon light kit I installed!

no, actually I think it was an 12V to 110AC inverter hooked to the cigarette lighter, the blower made 50 more HP but the alternator drew 60 hp to make it run and of course I only race with my air conditioner on (I disconnected the WOT inhibit for the A/C pump to keep it cool) another 20 hp loss. I also crank my 1000 watt stereo (another 50 hp lost and 950lbs heavier) but it doesnt matter because this mustang runs 12's even though its never been to the track because it was able to keep up with a Viper in bumper to pumper traffic.
