Whats better than a turbo or supercharger?

A high powered leaf blower! I'll prolly get in trouble for posting this but it seems like something RH r rubberfrog would do lol.
Lol I thought you guys would find that funny. At least it was a Cheby that was disgraced in this photo and not a Dodge! O btw when ya gonna come join us poon lovers rubberfrog?
There was something similar to this posted a while back. Something about an electric fan that attached to your intake and forced air in. But it was brought up that the fan might not be able to keep up with the engines demand for air and cause the motor to starve for air. In theory (don't hold me to this I may be wrong) but I don't see why this wouldn't work. I mean yea it looks rediculous but I don't see why not this would supply more than enough air for any stock motor.

Actually a Novi 1000 SUpercharger flows 850cfm and can produce up to 500hp. One of the higher end 200+mph leaf blowers actually pump out 600cfm(generally at the blower end and not the tube end)(tube end drops a bit ~100cfm or so).
Funny F'in pic and idea. It will actually help in the HP dept. but it's still nothing even close to a supercharger.

i had a buddy put one of those on his geo metro... it was an electric one, and he had it rigged to run off the battery. it actually made a difference, but the drain on the battery was so much that the little motor couldnt keep up and the battery would eventually die.

did some math. works out to a Hemi wanting about 70-100 cfm for every 1000 RPM depending on the volumetric efficiency of the motor, likely somewhere in the 80s. so at 5000 rpm, a hemi wants 400 CFM of air. Average leaf blower CFM, 400-500.
The leaf blower would help it breathe better, and gain you something by eliminating the drop in pressure due to the motor 'sucking' air in, but don't expect forced induction. but you could kick some *** at idle! you'd really throw them off when you rev up the blower before you rev up the truck motor.
edit: Damnit dirty you beat me to it!
