Re: Supercharging

A while back, I suggested hooking up a leaf blower to the intake hose of a car. (Stop laughing)
Some of the most powerful cordless blowers use 12 volt, and blow 400 cfm, which would be enough for smaller engines. Sure, they will only provide 1-2 psi, but they would provide a small power boost,(no lean out condition to worry about) they could be hooked up to a gas pedal switch where they only activate at full throttle, and when they are not spinning, the engine could easily suck the intake air past the stationary fan vanes.

I also thought of using a mondo 2 stroke back pack blower for the drag strip. They provide much more cfm than an electric, and enough pressure to easily blow rocks, gravel etc
Just imagine, pull start the blower and wind it out just before the bleach box......cool, eh?
