That's what I'm saying. Wait five years and buy an e-charger that will blow out your engine welds, or just buy a Tesla Roadster that goes 0-60 in 2.4 seconds. In the meantime, save the $400 and buy a stripper for one night.

okay...think for a minute...what powers this electric fan? electricity...duh
where does this electricity come from? the battery. now what powers the battery? an alternator. what powers an alternator? the motor. all your doing is increasing drag on the alternator, losing HP, just to make thos esame couple of horses back again with the fan. Seeing as how airflow;s resistance to movement increases expponentially, you will never have a fan that flows more CFMs to create more power than it actually ends up draining from the system in the first place.
this is why all of these electric superchargers will always fail.

I always tell people..THERE IS NO CHEAP, QUICK, EASY WAY to get free horsepower (Other then chopping away everything but the chassis, lol). Seems EVERYONE wants a magic part or box or resister that magically makes the car more powerful, yet it still stays quiet and sounds like stock so mom and pop or the wife won't give you crap. Modding a car adds vibrations, noise, less comfort (suspension), hard to drive (aftermarket clutch), lightens the wallet, may make it less reliable or require more stringent maintenance, make it fail carbon testing, etc, etc, etc.. my advice to those looking to add performance on a budget... DON'T.. performance is a hobby, a really expensive hobby..if you don't have the cash to pay for performance..DON'T START, keep it stock and focus on appearance..or else look for a different hobby like a pet rock garden.

You know, most hair dryers have that option for cold air. Hook like 5 of them up and boost that ****.
