Re: Leaf Blower
they should try with both the leaf blower and the car on nitrous, sure it may work but the gains are negligeable, you're getting 3hp tops. a new intake system would get you more than that.

Re: Leaf Blower
the proof is right in front of you people!
fine, gains from a turbo are because it's AFTER the filter. Leaf blowers have an air filter too, ya know? |

Re: Leaf Blower
no, gains from a turbo are from compression. leaf blowers do not compress, only flow.
but i dont think those gains could be had from removing a filter. i think the leafblower is providing gains but it is not at all practical.

Re: Leaf Blower
honestly i think it worked....it didn't impress me w/ the numbers, but there is now proof that a leaf blower does flow enough air under enough pressure to actually increase horseower.
I also thought that the NAAWWWWZZZZ was a nice addition to the video.

Re: Leaf Blower

So how much electricity does your alternator create? Cool that you finally did find proof tho. I know you were pretty worked up about it a while ago.lol Glad to see you go through with what you think. Not common these days.
