Ok! So I decided to buy me one of these much talked about electric superchargers.

You are ALL going to be so blown away, it ACTUALLY boosted my horsepower in my 2.5L 250HP OVER STOCK!!!!

Not to mention my fuel economy has SKYROCKETED!!! I'm now getting somewhere in the ballpark of 80MPG CITY.

With this new boost of power I took it out to the drag strip with stock tires. (Man she was sure purrin I was gun own on da homies) And when I let loose, I ran 6 seconds flat!!!!

Anybody want to try and touch that?

You don't need 2 alts, just a Dakota alt, and the right wiring and relays, oh, and the 2 I run are sequential, yeah that's right, one forces air into the other one and that forces air into the engine. 2 inline turbosuperchargers, I'm thinking of adding a third....

I'm visualizing a brand new "you're a redneck if...." picture. Be sure to add an in-window airconditioner to the intake too to cool the air down for an extra 50 HP! Just bolt it down to the hood.

Ok.... this actually makes me wonder.... if you had a big backpack leaf blower, ya know the one that knocks ya back a lil when ya hit the throttle.... would that actually provide a performance boost? If anyone is actually willing to try that and has access to a dyno, I would LOVE to know.

I think the little amount of air the small fan would generate would probably restrict your air intake flow. The engine on its own would create more vacuum and suck in more air than that thing would "push". Thats just my opinion.
