omg dont buy it 1st off because its $70 for a "super charger" and second u get what u pay for. If ur really serios on boosting your car dont go ebay go through well respected names like vortech or hahns race craft for tubos.That just looks like a filter with a piece of shit attached to it.

there is NO way in hell 12 volts can power an electric motor strong enough to make 20-30 horsepower (the amount of power it takes to operate a supercharger) a motor capable of that would most likely require a 440 volt 3 phase connection, more then twice as much electricity as your home furnace, your cloths dryer, or your stove/oven would require

alright thanks for the tip guys

its an electric air pump from a boat...you know the little fan that kicks on when you vent the inboard-outboard style boats before you start them again?? That's the same thing....they do NOTHING as far as performance

go to dollar general and buy a hand held fan that runs on 2 AA batteries and shove that in your intake :) same result, lol

I cannot believe someone thought that was a legit ad. There is one of those blowers on a heater at my work! That heater must be pushin like 300 horsepower!:lol:

$2,649 GM Eaton M62 Supercharger Kit 2.2L Ecotec > $70 leaf blower.

hey now, dont be dissing leaf blowers, i bet a leaf blower puts out more power then an electric supercharger anyways....

This kinda depends on what your using it for, if your using it to blow leaves, then your gonna want the leaf blower...:rolleyes:

That thing was rather spendy...you could have had a turbo setup for less money.

Turbo > supercharger > Leaf blower

In that case... Turbo (unhook charge piping and hit the 2step) > leaf blower > supercharger

lol set up that 2 step for right under 5 grand and HOLD ON

All our shops cars are turbo'd, we decided to do mine s/c'd to appeal to customers across the spectrum. Me, honestly... Once i get her all together, why not bi-charge it... :smile:

My 2 step is set for 5000rpm. I run that for my drag radials on the street/strip. When i run slicks, i have to go even higher ~7400

lol 2Step on the SRT anywhere 2500+RPM = spinning through 3rd (even with LSD)

Little turbo + large displacement = low end torque and no top end

Tirespin will happen...that's why most of us Honda guys use a turbo that doesnt require a microscope to see :p
