Electric Turbo?

Whats up all,

I was poking around on this thing called the 'Internet' today, and I happened to have stumbled across an electric "turbocharger" today. All it really looks like to me is a super high powered electric fan that fits into your intake track.

It says it puts out 900cfm and it shows dyno results on 5 or 6 different cars with multiple cars gaining 10+ horsepower.

For $250, would that be worth trying to fit up to my 4barrel
carbed 305?

Any of those turbo guys, imput is appriciated

$250 might pick you up a good used nos kit...
much better than a 10 hp gain IMO...but the "electric supercharger" won't even give you 10hp
