Question Are electric superchargers any good?

I was browsing on Ebay and I saw an ad for an electric supercharger for 2nd Gen CL-S. Are theses worth anything? I searched but couldn't find any threads with info on them.

i work at a nissan dealership and have seen this dumbass come in with a maxima that has one of those "superchargers" it looks soo hokey. its sounds like a hairdryer when its on. he swears it makes this "big" difference but funny part is he doesnt have it hooked up. it uses a micro-switch thats activated by the throttle. only problem is 03 maximas are fly-by-wire so it doesnt even turn on. me and another mechanic tried it though we ran some wiring inside and turned it on while on a test drive, it didnt do anything car felt regular. my its a big waste of money.

I actually heard thats true, sticker cut down on wind resistance and increase the power to the Flux Capacitor, thereby allowing the car to have better acceleration.

the positively charged vinyl sticker will repel negatively charged air. if you put the stickers on the back they help w/ acceleration, if you put them on the front they help with braking. if you put one on the side the car will deviate to the other side, so balance it with one on each side so the car tracks straight...

It sounds like I need some more stickers from ebay along with the Electronic Supercharger. I heard between those 2 things, it adds 70-80 FWHP, all I need is some front stickers so our crappy brakes will be ever so better.

What if I put enough stickers on the bottom, wouldnt that take away from the friction of the tires against the road, we would get 50-60mpg.

Only the yellow electric superchargers work. Remember the golden rule : Yellow = HP.

Yellow stickers: +5HP/per
Yellow calipers: +15HP
Yellow windshield wipers: +18HP
Yellow racing stripes: +100HP
Yellow car: +200HP, bonus increased by 45.66% if you have yellow stickers on your yellow car, while wearing a yellow hat holding a yellow steering wheel that you removed the airbags out of to house your NaWz switches.

Truth.

None of those really add up to the Calvin-pissing-on-a-ford logo. Or a gunrack,for that matter.

for the record. "GT-R" badges pull much higher numbers that "SE-R." and a gunrack is deffinatly the best bang for the buck in the world of hp. a good wooden gunrack can even double as a monkeybar interior cage.
