I saw a guy at the drag strip with an electric supercharger. he put it in a 2nd gen camaro. The local drag strips are only 1/8 mile around here. He was expecting to go 4s and ran 6s. didn't seem to work as well as he thought it would.

I think that it could be done ( not with that unit but something similar maybe ) at the dragstrip utilizing some of the energy saved in the battery since no alt could keep up with the need of this unit. besides that would be counter productive to use the alt for other than recovery as we have overly discussed before, you know the "trying to lift yourself up by your own shoelaces" theory.
