In the web site it states that if you engine is over 5.0 liters to call them. They only recomment it for small engines.

 

If you read their spec's they claim 1.7 PSI boost and 750 CFM, with there twin system. Once your engine start getting bigger it will not be able to keep up. Also, if it is not on, it will be a restriction.

Should work great on my weed eater.

 

Cmon, fellas, like it really works anyhow. If it worked, wouldn't we all be runnning one, oops two. Like we see them on all of the top drag cars, right?

Ok, I actually talked to someone here who used two of them on a C5. Personally I have my own story. I know that electric superchargers can work. So I decided to give it a shot. I've posted this story on other forums before, so I'm just going to cut and paste it here.

I bought one a while ago to use on my 94 dodge intrepid. I ordered the top of line "Super e-ram" and was terribly dissapointed. I had to wait 8 months to receive it. Then when I got it, I discovered that the product was no where near what they showed on the website. For starters, the images on their website showed a well built device in a solid looking metal housing. What I got was a couple of fans in a flimsy plastic housing. It was supposed to have three pieces of silicone tubing: one to joing the two fan housings together, and then one on each end, to connect it to the filter housing, and the air intake. I ordered, (and was charged for) this set-up, but when it arrived it only had two of the silicone pieces. Furthermore, when the hose clamps where tightened enough to make the hose seal onto the housing, it cause the housing to deform so much that the fan blades came into contact with the side of the housing. The housing was so flimsy that it couldn't even be properly attached. When I finally did manage to get it attached in such a way that the fans spun freely, I wired it up. Well, I couldn't get both of the motors to run. It turned out that one of the motors was burnt out. They shipped me a unit with a burnt out motor! What a complete piece of garbage. Well I hooked it up with one fan working, and took it out for a drive to see if it made a difference. As far as I could tell, there was absolutely no effect. I've seen K&N filters that had more effect than that. It was a huge disapointment. I wrote them an email explaining my dis-satisfation with the product, and they never even bothered to respond. As far as I am concerned, this is a poor company, with a horrible product, and the worst customer service I've seen in an automotive aftermarket company. Their products don't live up to their claims, and the company fails to address customer dissatisfaction. If you are considering buying one of this, my adamant reccomendation is that you not waste your money on this pathetic product. Your time would be better spent trying to design and build your own electric supercharger.

Don't forget the 50amp draw on the electrical system. That's like 1/2 the amp ratings of our stock alternators... :eek: :eek:
