Default "Electric Supercharger"

I think this is funny. Check out eBay item 8041178522. It's an "Electric Supercharger". Basically, it is a CAI with a fan attached to it. The pipe seems to be plastic plumbing you can buy at Home Depot. What a bunch of crap.

$169 and you don't even get the air filter? [&:]

I've seen these on eBay before. I've also seen them installed on a few grand prixs before [:'(]

You'd be blocking more air than with that fan than if you were running your stock air box and gee it looks so purrty!! If I only had a few bucks to spare??????

It's a scam this guy can't lose on. I do a lot of selling on ebay and a few months ago I pm'd this same guy selling these asking him how it could supercharge my 360 when stock my engine pulled more than 500 cfm, he had it listed specifically for the dodge ram 360, I never heard back from him and he pulled the auction.I was trying to figure out how he made any money on these as he gets alot of returns, well he was charging $40 to ship them so he could accept the return but he always made around $15 to $25 on shipping,now he states free shipping, if you return it he says you will be refunded your money minus shipping so he doubles the shipping cost,deducts it from your bid and he still makes money even when you return the product...

Yeah man i put one on my HONDA! Along with painting the interior, adding 20 NAWZ stickers, a folgers can exhaust TIP, some big f-ck off wire loom in the engine bay, painted it lime green, and put 24's on it I was pushing around, I would say.... 6-700 horsepower yo!

I can take anyone off the line bro, thats if i take off when the lights still yellow on the tree...[:'(][&:]

EDIT: Oh yeah i forgot about the numerous chinese symbols i put on it, those give me 5 HP each yo!

I figure I can steal my wife's blow dryer, rip the heaters out of, hook it to an inverter, and pipe it in with some dryer duct and duct tape. I will have to balance the potential RWHP gain against the load of crap I would have to take off the wife to determine whether or not this would be good.

Just use a leaf blower mopowar... Besides, if you get a gas leaf blower you can jimmy rig it to start when your truck starts... or even have a push button. just have another pump in your tank fed to it... Plus if you get one thats 25 HP or more, just think, that means you get 50 HP out of it!

Or you can go the electric route:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...30910868302498

And with that one, just get a power invertor, plug it in and have a switch inside the truck to turn it from Blow to Vacuum... Just think, thats a really cheap engine brake module right der'....

EDIT: Actually now that i think of it, I have a leaf blower (electric).. I have an invertor, now i just need an air filter... hmm.... If i ever get bored one day, i may actually do it just for ****s and giggles... I may post pics of it too...

(I'm prolly gonna get flamed for this )
