Electric Superchargers - + 25HP for $100 bucks?

Has anyone tried any of these electric supercharger kits? The seller claims that they add 20-25% HP.

Seems cheap and a waste of money.

On the other hand I believe Injen has created something similar.

those things will work....but not 20-25%.....

ud definatly see gains...

i saw a video online where some guys took a leaf blower and put it into the intake manifold and dyno'd the car...then let the leaf blower rip...they gained like 25hp.....and then they did hte same with NOS and the leafblower and gained like 60hp...but the only thing about what the poster posted....is it seems cheap...and not durable...and i don't know how crazy id feel about having a small engine that sucks at the end of my intake....(suck in water)

All it does is electrically push "supposely more" air into your engine. It's pointless...

Yeh..I've seen that too. Totally blew me my mind, just the idea and that they actually did it. I would rather spend my money on a CT RSB but get it and lets us know what you think of it. You might start and epidemic
