It would be GREAT if someone with access to a dyno would actually put one on and post up before and after graphs. This would really put the issue to bed one way or the other.
I can see the logic to it but so many people say it won't work right off the bat it would be nice to see the proof.
There are guys that come up with calculations showing that there is no effect of the Vararam intake too. But that does work.
If someone from a reputable shop who is a vendor will give me a pm and commit to doing the pre and post dyno's I'll buy one and send it to them no charge just to see the results.

So many people say it won't work off the bat because they understand mass flow rates, and the horsepower needed to move the amount (weight) of air needed to provide useful boost. Search this forum for detailed calculations. The C5 alternator, if ALL the output were given over to driving the blower motor, has about 1/10th or less the energy needed to move the amount of air that would provide even 5 lbs. boost.

What does their inercooler look like??
SJPD, not a bad idea there. Use a gas powered leaf blower to supercharge the engine. Sound like a really neat idea. Just have to figure where to mount it all.
