This is the only place I've found that sells real elecric superchargers. All those other e-ram type things are worthless.

yeah the boosthead superchargers are the real deal. They cost alot though, and are pretty hard to install because of all the electrical modifications neccissary. He used to make one with an eaton supercharger too, but I think he discontinued it because it wasn't as efficient as the centrifical type.

that must be the closes application to a real S/C i've seen...BUT it works in short burst...up to 15seconds, pfffff

meaning electrical S/C are worthless...atleast untill better battery/recharging and capacitarot technologies exists

That's exactly what it is, and no one should even 2nd guess if it's worth or not...Anything that involves simply attaching a little hunk of metal that needs 10 AA batteries to your intake or engine is about as dumb as it gets.

I wonder what the ECU would think is going on when the car is boosted by a dominating 1.7psi
