hmmmm, 2 volts to charge the battery.
No it takes 14v to charge a battery. You said that the 2 volts out for the 14 that the alternator made were wasted b/c the car only needs 12. This is not true because without 14v, the battery would not be able to be charged. If the alternator produced 12v instead of 14 the battery would never charge.

yes you can use the stock battery, if you wanted to activate this at full throttle or partial throttle you can. we always activated at idle for the dyno's.

I know, thats why I plan to rig it on the throttle for activating. If the fan runs while in idle it will cause the car to stall.

it has nothing to do with admiting to something. it has to do with testing. people who sell bildge pumps, do not test on vehicles. they only do the scam sell method.

^ serisouly, though I am going to volunteer on this one. I have always been curious. If he says its comparable (which I personally doubt) to a Jackson racing super charger, then peachy. Im looking for significant power increases. Im also going to get one of those dash things where I can stick like 2" guages on each side. One will be bost so I can find out how much pound-age its putting out and one for the battery. Im gong to make something (unless somebody knows where I can get one) for the throttle, so it will activate the 'turbo' around 75% throttle.

And Sacs, if I get it, I will send it to you after Im done for you to test if you would like.

Now onto prices. What do they cost? Could I get a great discount considering you will get alot of sales off here if it works? You potnetially have 6800 odd people ordering these things if deemed worth the $

What is the life span of the blower? How much power does the motor have?

Does it make any noise?

I will give my honest opinions too.

I think you're going to have to man up and let sacs, remmy or some other respected member on this forum try one out if you ever want to win this battle, dude.

I just found a 667 cfm blower. It can be easily modified to use in my car. I am waiting on a quote out of curiosity. I saw others with 400+ cfm going between $100-$300
