Default Are Electric Superchargers worth the time?

I was just wondering if it really make alot of difference to use an electric supercharger. They only put out like 3 psi or something and i was just wondering what everyones opinion was.

I wish someone would just buy one and put it on and do a write-up on it. It has to be the E-Ram one though. Those ridiculous 12-volt fans on ebay would do more harm than good.

Bottom line- dont' waste your money.

Sweet. I don't want no "Butt-Dyno" though. I want a boost gauge and at least a G-Tech.

i have heard bad things about those electric induction systems, have never used one my self but i have heard of the blades braking off and geting sucked into the intake and damiging motors, that and i can make a meter reed 3psi by blowing into it lol its not all the PSI but also the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) and with those little electric motors doing 3psi you will get more cfm from a cold air intake with the air from the car moveing then with those things and not run the risk of trashing your engine

leaf blower is a proven way....... sear street fire they have dyno results with a leaf blower...then leaf blower with nitrous shot through the leaf blower....electric is only worth the cool noise IMO.
