I wonder if you get a set of steak knives with this thing?

I don't know for sure , but I'll bet it slices...it dices...

This outfit is hoping that Barnum was right and...."There is a sucker born every minute."

"will immediately be capable of delivering a 5-20% boost in horsepower throughout the entire RPM band GUARANTEED or your money back!"

Try it and tell us how it goes so we don't waste our money, I'll bet you probably have to have proven dyno results before and after to get your money back though or they could say you can't proove it. Then you are screwed.

Money back for the plans to build this. This is not the electric supercharger they are selling, it is the plans to build your own.
How are you going to prove that the plans did not work if you succeed in building something that does not work?
Just because what you built does not work, doesn't mean that the plans didn't, right?

WHAT!!! I though the 80 bucks was for the thing itself not just the plans. WOW that is even a bigger rip off!!!!!!!!!!!

$80 to build it , $14.95 to download the plans.

Sorry, I am out of it tonight. please ignore everything I wrote.

Should have taken the time to read the post and their page.

I assumed It was like those ones they sell on ebay that is just a big electric fan that goes in your intake when I saw the picture on thier site.

Don't worry about it. The ad is very misleading.

Hey guys, you know this thing might just actually work and make more power...

...on a Briggs & Stratton!

For $3500 I can increase the horsepower of your Briggs five fold. How does 25 hp from a 5 horse briggs sound? Pop...pop...pop

I highly doubt any performance gains will come of adding such an electric supercharger. A supercharger only adds performance at high RPM's as the belt rotates the centrifugal or the the twin screw to produce compressed air to be mixed with the fuel for higher combustion. That setup looks like a fan on the intake system which may send alot more air. I say spend the $80 on an MSD, wires, blaster coil and a k&N filter....then do the air box mod.. I bet you'd get an equal amount of power increase and MPG increase as the electric supercharger...

Well, hey, why don't we just do what this guy did? Shouldn't be too hard.

That should say "There is a ricer born every minute."

Those things will be purchased by the same guys that have PVC pipe rollcages and fake nitrous purge kits.

There's a guy on S10Blazers.com that has a pretty good sig line on his posts:

"VORTEC" Violently Obliterates Rice Tuners Every Chance

Wish I'd thought of it.

WHATS WRONG WITH A PVC ROLL CAGE.

"But the ad said it protected you in the event of a roll over or your money back"

Speaking of the PVC rollcage...

Oh my Gawd!!! It's a Chevette! You mean there's one that actually escaped the crusher?

Come to think of it, I saw a Vega the other day. And it was still moving under it's own power!

You mean the driver pushing it down the street or the actual motor.

HEY! I resemble that remark

I thought you had a Vega...that's half the reason I made that comment.

I know, I had a couple of them too. But see, this one I saw was all stock with a 4cyl in it (and judging by the smoke trail, the original 4cyl). You don't see stock ones still running very often!
