electric blower, lol. it might work but don't expect it to give you a super gain in power. i would expect no more than 1-2 psi.

Here we go again. I wish somebody would buy one and install it with before and after dyno runs, then post it on all the different boards so this thing will finally go away. This is like spam or junk mail that just keeps coming back every few weeks.

Im sorry about this but think are you that dense , people pay thosands for a fi setup but this ones diffrent for 250$ you can make as much power how stupid every ones been all this time spending thosands
did you look at the web page did you read the description
its a boat bilge fan, It will not create pressure it will not force air, it will be a restriction in you intake track, it might flow 250 cfm not the 500 they claim, ls1s will easily inhale 800 cfm stock you will be forcing an extreme over run of that lil fan which will then come apart and be swalloed by your motor. If you think this will work you should just remove your air filter and drive down a dusty road you will get the same result.

everyhting u guys are saying is true,

i figured since they have that tornado thing out that supposedly gives u more HP this is on the same bases as that, it swirls the air and pushes a little extra air in the engine.

i wasn't expecting 100hp.

i am more into audio/video

just wanted to add a little extra HP without breaking the bank. i already put in a intake and a dual exhuast.

i can't afford to spend $5000 on a supercharger.
