how about i cut you a similar deal.
If you send me $100 i will send you nothing. 100% money back guarantee.

They will probably send you to the local marine supply store to get one of those hull vent fans.






In case you don't get it, its a scam. Those things don't work.

me and my buddies came a cross that a week or so ago and had the same q i asked around a couple of guys from diff car clubs that i know and the 2 psi is bull it might give you better gas milage but thats all and theres a comp that takes the alum housings and bolts 3 starters to it to make an electric up to 30 psi but the amount of power to do this is not worth it

Actually, it doesn't give you better gas mileage, and you don't get 2 psi.

But if you really want to buy such a thing, I'll sell you a computer fan for $29.95, $30 cheaper than their prices.

I'll call it the "walleteater". Buy two, and get a 5% discount!

that's kinda what i thought. it seemed implausable that an electric fan could produce boost, when it takes a centrifugal charger the right pitch on the vanes and (i'm guessing) 30,000 rpm! Any way i still would rather not give anyone my money,(that's why i was looking at a $100 superchargers!) but i could write you a check, yeah a check........

The secret to a turbo/supercharger is its ability to compress air.
500CFM doesn't really mean anything, as it isn't able to compress the air.

Creating a less restrictive intake is going to gain much better results.
