the blower by itself can only add as much power as it makes. Lets say the electric motor in the blower puts out a big bad 1.5 hp, not bad for a leaf blower, but not much of a gain on a V8. Any other gains (or losses) will be a byproduct of whatever effect the blower has on the vehicles tune rather than its 'forced induction' capabilites.

i dont think this is true. When they say an electric blower has 1.5hp i think its talking about the power the actual motor puts out, this has nothing to do with how much power it could potentially give a car if hes doing what hes doing. When they talk about supercharger specs they dont say it puts out 100hp they say it puts out 8 pounds of boost and essentially what hes doing is making his own 'mini' supercharger

To elaborate, the power of the air going into the intake tube on a stock mustang is nowhere near 260 hp, if it were, you would except the engine to engulf everything around it.

If you use a horse to push air into a box filled with gas and light that and have the energy created turn a wheel, it would be a hell of a lot energy than the horse is pushing.

He's probably too embarrassed to state them. :rlaugh:

I went to Borthers Performance this past weekend.
Made 3 runs
1.218rwhp Stock
2.227rwhp...Switch Flipped
3.217rwhp Stock

Not as much as some thought it would give me but on a car that responds to mods better maybe it would be.

I have a video but like I said before, no software...I have a Canon ZR85 camcorder...Anyone know where I can get the software. I found nothing on their site.
