What is "boost"? I'm not sure what you are talking about. Can someone explain it for me?

Super Charger/Blower, Turbo Charger. Boosting the intake air pressure to force feed the fuel/air charge.

Gotcha, I think I get it, so you are telling me that that outside air being taken in is pressurized and this makes the car run faster? Are kits like this for real? Sounds interesting, are these kits expensive or do you make your own somehow?
