That's probably the most valid electric supercharger I've seen yet (remember those SuperPac commercials on TNN? LOL ). Not bad. It "sounds like" it works on smaller displacement motors... but the extra 200+ lbs of batteries and phat wiring doesn't sound appealing. I agree, spend $500 on 30 lbs worth of nitrous kit instead. The $1500 you save will buy a LOT of nitrous. Or, it'll buy a refill station and your first couple industrial bottles (which then you can start selling to your friends, and it pays for your nitrous habit ).

i'm not a fan of nitrous but im not a fan of that electric supercharger either. that'll wear down your battery and alternator life significantly, and for $2000 that is in the ballpark of buying an actual supercharger.
