the e-ram works: fact or fiction?

I'm thinking that if a e-ram electric supercharger actually works a little, why the hell not. I have the wee 2.8l engine, so i don't need a huge paxton blower to make power, besides i don't have the money. I've seen the videos on youtube that shows one crush a can, run a psi test, ect. If it works even a little, i'm telling myself i should go for it. I'm open about it because i could get one really cheap, and no it's not from someone that tried it, lol.

Still fiction, even on the wee 2.8l engine.

Re: the e-ram works: fact or fiction?

Why is it only the members with the 2.8L engines fall for this junk? Hmm....Do a search on member name Mars22, you'll see what I mean.

And yea, they just don't work Don't waste your time, instead start planning on how to get a real engine in there, like a V8 perhaps.

I dont know, maybe we have a lack of self-esteem because we're underpowered.

Swap, got it.

Well you got a sense of humor, which is refreshing.

Re: the e-ram works: fact or fiction?

while living in gainsville some ******* (other than me) had an electric leaf blower hooked up, made it look real stock. Gainsville raceway wouldn't even let him run it. Dumb, not practical, maybe even danerous, but worked.
