I was browsing cardomin.com and came across a kid with a TBI third gen with an electric leaf blower plumbed into his ducting plugged into a power converter. He claims a .5 sec. reduction in E.T... I checked on leaf blowers, and some can blow 200mph. Its only a $150 investment with the power converter, so im seriously thinking about it. I have TPI so i will have to come up with an air filter before the blower. I want my plumbing to be more sealed than his (pic enclosed). Will this work???? I will only hook it up for the track and turn it on at wide open throttle. Im i crazy???

Im all about budget racing, i have some cheap mods i learned from this site and other sources. check my webpage http://www.cardomain.com/id/2quikk4u

tell me what you think about this idea, it is amusing if anything!

Seriously I wouldn't consider such a"mod" if you wanna call it that.

Vortech A-trim puts out 350 cfm.

Something like a leaf blower would never create any boost, but it could very well possibly increase efficiency. I'd believe 9-10 HP.
