Has anyone used this? Kinda considering it but wondering if its ever been tested?
I would mount it on the throttle to only turn on at fully opened.
Any News on this?

Highly scientific tests also.
honestly, I would like to try the idea......on my honda. Lol Really I said it. I have a 2000 insight. Its modded, to get mpg. I average 75 mpg in town and 90 on the hiway, so we use it a lot. The problem is the power. If the electric blower could ad even 15 ft lbs to its 999 cc motor, then I could probably lean burn longer and not reduce miliege on small grades as much. Plus, just running the ac kills the power, and mpg.
On a small enough engine with a small air requirement it might actually work...a little.

I love the video on their site - proof that it works: pushes over blocks on the shop floor. An LS1 supercharger would blow that block with enough force to punch through the shop wall.
Texas-Firehawk. That unit will not move enough air to provide any measurable HP benefit. It is likely, that it will act as a restriction and may actually reduce your HP.

Here is what customers have to say
..”The first thing you will notice if you turn on the supercharger manually using your car battery is that it will want to fly away, like a JET engine. It is very power powerful and unlike any other electric fan you have seen…”
