Your engine swallows more than 500 CFM of air naturally aspirated. Since the fan flows less than the air is already flowing through the intake, its nothing more than a restriction. Now according to my careful calulations if you would devise a way to hook up two of these for 1000 CFM, and the engine eats around 600 CFM, you would frow 1.66666 times as much air as the engine needed. If STP pressure is 14.7 than means these babies will move a total of 24.5 PSI absolute, or roughly 9.8 PSI of boost!!! AMAZING!!!

Just kidding. Those fans may flow 500 CFM with no load, but they certainly wont flow 500 CFM static compression at + 10 PSI.

Hooking the motors up to the front wheels would net you better trap times

Forget the E-charger. A few well placed stickers will make more power.

HAHAHA That looks like a 480 V motor or a 4160 v motor. You would have to have a trailer of batt's to run it with a bad *** inverter

The alternator on the F-body can put out 30 hp to drive a blower, right?
There's kind of a reason nobody uses an electric blower.

actually i work with blower motors at work, we make boilers, we have a boiler that puts out 399,000 BTU's , the thought of hooking that blower to my car has crossed my mind. It puts out some serious air
