To the OP.
Those electric blowers are a ripoff, period.

Now just speaking theory only, if you could find a compressor that would turn fast enough and provided an electric motor to it AND with enough current to run it, you should have instant full power compression to boost whatever you wanted. Of course, tuning would be required with someone knowing what they are doing. As far as I know, no one seems to have come up with an electric SC that actually works even though in my opinion, it is easily possible with an additional battery, wiring and of course, the SC that actually works.
Those two mods will complement each other.

Not sure why you all are hating on this idea. After reading the OP's sig, it's obvious to me, that he knows his stuff:
From the OP's bio:
"I was named crew chief of the race for a national event win in Grattan, MI I was also a pro shifter kart tuner. I was named mechanic of the year at Badger Raceway in Dousman, WI"
