up to 120.0 CFM, in reality it probably flows abour 45 cfm. Now. your throttle body alone flows something close to 800-900 cfm at wot.

45 cfm + 900cfm throttle body = 50 hp loss

Pretty much you'd need about 50 of these to get 900cfm and notice any difference.

the only thing close to electric superchargers being feasable is thomas knight's developement. i did a little digging and this guys getting 10-15 psi of a 42 volt setup. its still in the making but i dont see it happening anytime soon. stick with a procharger http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0406tur_knight/

i read somewhere that a guy bought like 6 of these things for his miata. claimed he got like 50hp. he had 4 up front then each pair y-ed into 2 more then finally those last 2 went into the throttle body. sounds like crap to me

I saw a setup on the net with a leaf blower. Boy I wish I could find those pics. I wonder is there a way to make a very effective electric s/c?

Get a battery relocate kit and put the leaf blower right there
The only way to make a leafblower work as a supercharger would be a gas powered leaf blower..

In reality... if you used a gas and an electric one.. using the electric to catch air and send it into the gas one.. it would probably have alot of air pressure to send.. just too bad because of the whole problem with air restriction when the thing wont run.. to much of a pain to fuel up your "supercharger" under the hood too.
