Electric supercharger??
Quite by accident, I ran across this. Has anyone ever seen or heard of this or a similar product? For $225, I'm tempted to just give this a try but is it just snake oil? If indeed this was viable, the HP gain for the money spent would be tremendous. Replies?

Well now. That was easy !! 
Thanks kindly gentlemen. That is exactly what I figured it was. I'd never heard of it before though and thought it all sounded too good to be true. Thank you for your quick and intelligent responses and for saving me some $$$. I like saving $$$...

Haha I was just joking anyways. You could easily control the motor speed based on an RPM signal. Using a couple sensors you could define panic ranges where you cut off boost if you sense something has gone amok.
