I can't believe there are people that think crap like that works. And man, what a deal, its only $300!! If your gonna put that on your car, may as well put a throttle-body spacer and magnets on your fuel lines to get 100 more horsepower.

Oh man, I laughed so hard after reading that website, I almost fell out of my chair!

I tried to buy four (4) for my cars, but they did not offer a volume discount, so I did not complete the order.

Do you have proof that these blowers do not work? It seems really cheap for small boost.

well you can put a leaf blower on the car, and that is way more cfms, and it is not the same as a centrifical charger at all.
and if you take a couple cfms from a boats exhaust fume blower, and run that in your intake, I don't think it is worth the strain on your altenator.
I looked at those years ago when they were a new idea, do you have any proof it does work, like a K&N air filter compared to a paper one. (on a stock car)
IMO far better of fwith samll bolt ons

I'm here to tell everyone they do WORK! I bought one, inserted in my *** and hung it out the window.

The positive's:

1. One has a better look at the tree.
2. Weight transfer is better.
3. No Meth Required (supplied).

The negative's

1. Bad Blow Bye
2. Meth actually froze the retrictor plate.
3. Too much boost actually sucked the cylinder walls out. Literally puking the guts out.
4. After morning ****'s.

Hope this helps.
