You want the REAL electric supercharger, check this out. http://www.boosthead.com/home.php, sounds like an awesome alternative to nitrous, seeing how my only problem with nitrous is the whole running out/re-filling thing.

You would be better off buying a FLUX capacitor. Not only will your HP increase but you can travel time. Did I mention the gas mileage you will save by using banana peels for fuel?

Just kidding with you man. That would be a lousy investment. A turbosupercharger powered by a 12 volt battery wont feed enough forced air to fill up a paper bag

Re: electric supercharger/the turbonator

i dunno if i'm falling for all the bullshit on their website, but that turbohead thing doesn't sound all too impossible. since i live in south florida and visit moroso motorsports park often, i think i'll take a look at the car they run next time i go.


EDIT: lmao, i just looked at their moroso video. who the fuck would buy an FI kit from a company whose car runs 15.15 at the track and the announcement says "Maybe you've seen the tires melt on our ESC™-charged test vehicles at Moroso Motosports Park." not to mention a team who doesn't know jack about racing. Someone should tell them that burning out in the waterbox when you have a 15.x car really doesn't do anything except waste rubber and hinder your launch a bit.

Re: electric supercharger/the turbonator

Personally, I would definitely go for a mechanical turbo or supercharger, but since we are on the topic of electrical superchargers, I thought I'd bring it up. I think it'd be pretty nice to have rechargeable nitrous as a FI alternative, but if I had the money for that, I'd probably just buy a turbo. As for the turbonator type thing, listen to everyone else, I haven't tried it, but other than that, I'm sure that it's worthless.
