        Didn't we already have a thread where we discussed installing leaf blowers to our cars? That would probably work as well or better.

                  No, that was a nuclear bellows sump.

                  Transistors cost more.

                    A new muffler bearing is cheaper and provides more of a gain.:p

                    Or you can get a Butt Dyno to go with it.

                      This reminds me of some guys who dynoed a Civic with a leaf blower on it. It actually picked up a bit of power but i don't recall how much and since the "boost" was only a set amount of air (and didn't increase/decrease with engine RPM) it came on all at once and died off all at once. The ongoing joke about it was "now where do i get a 1320 foot extension cord?"

                        Look at that close....you have the fender air tube right? Well that feeds the "blower"....AND the intake like normal...so the blower sucks air from the fender and feeds the engine, which is already getting fed by the fender. I'm betting this is because a V8 actually sucks more air on its own than this little POS can push. I swear there should be a law against crap like this....but then again if you're stupid enough to buy something this utterly retarded then maybe you deserve to get ripped off.

                            Actually on that 5.0, this could be useful. Draw all the air through the POS and it could be like a little generator.

                            Edit: I had to save that pic. Like I always say. Each day I see something that makes me laugh myself silly. Today, it's that intake setup!

                              Your right Anomoly40, it is a resistor. Was sitting here trying to remember what the heck it was again. LOL
