Default ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGERS

Hello fellows mustang owners. I recently saw a slew of ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGERS on ebay for about $130.00 i was wondering if any of you guys ever installed one in your car or maybe can tell me wether or not this is just plain out BULL**** ! Well the AD says it will increase about 35 to 40 HP and it distributes about 350 CFMs which would be equal to 4-5 PSI. Anyone, Please add your two cents in to help convince me!

hmmm... a better sprocket and an electric blower would be da bomb diggity!!! I dont think a go kart would put out enough voltage to run the blower though.

I hooked up a Car Smog Pump many yrs ago for a school project onto a snow blower. Couldn't measure the HP but i could throw snow with a 5 hp motor 40 feet. Today it takes 8 to 10 hp to throw snow 40+ feet.

130 bux huh?! People are bidding on them? I think you can buy them for like 60-70 new. To resell them at 130 bux would be worth buying them.
