you know whats funny though. They are charging $50 for that fan when you can get the same exact fan for around $12+shipping from almost any marine website. They use them to vent out the engine compartment before you start a boat engine so as if there are gas fumes in the engine compartment, they dont blow up and kill you...

Yea thats what he did, he used to sell these sometimes for 250.00 with 20.00 shipping. Here is the messed up part he would buy it sometimes from the fishing website and just put in there shipping info. It was nuts he made like 2000 doing this in like a month.

HAHA! That thing won't even be able to keep up with the air intake of a normal engine. It's like putting a plug in your air filter. Prepare to lose power. I wouldn't rev the car over 2k RPMs with one of those things on.

On a funny note there was a Mustang magazine where they attached a leaf blower to the intake and ran the power cable to a power inverter inside the car. They were able to pickup like 50hp by making several pounds of boost.
