Electric Superchargers
What is with these things. They seem like a gimmick to me. Looks like a fan inline with your air cleaner tube, which I guess could help. But they dont' show exactly what they do. That makes me think they are a ripoff. Anyone have one or know someone who has one?

uh, no. There's no way this would do anything remotely good. Otherwise every car in the magazines would have 5 of them in their intakes.
Dude, i thought you were a "Ford Master Technician"
Supposedly it's a 12volt fan that pushes more air into your intake, like a supercharger. Try it out, should be a snap for you to install and test. I think a subwoofer pushes more air than that. I think flatulence pushes more air. Hell, i think no air pushes more air.

Yeah. I have found out it's kinda like a blower motor or "squirrel cage" type fan. A cold air induction would be better. I had just never heard of them. Never seen one, never seen any in magazines, new to me.

Well it was kind of hard to understand his slang language he was using, so I thought I would try to make a point about it like that, instead of telling him to talk normal. But I guess I can now, yo "CLIFFDOG" talk normal bro.
Garrett, it really didn't have anything to do with you, but ok.
