I know that electric superchargers don't add horespower but, do you think that it would aid in throttle response and fuel economy. I was just wondering if they could be used for something.

They make nice brake cooling fans, but for the price they go on ebay you can get 4 detmar inline blowers

As a supercharger they're worth absolutely nothing.

the restriction they could offer if any would be far out weighed by the restriction offered from just off idle on up.

especially being I have never seen a dynojet or superflow chassis dyno that looked like the one they were using so what kind of crap do you think they were pulling it on?
