They have been dyno proven to take away power. Heres a good understanding of it before a pro comes in and sets it straight. Take a small motor, pull off the air cleaner, start it and put your hand over the carb... Your hand should almost get sucked in (depending on the motor specs of course though). I have a 107cc 3-Valve engine in my Honda Monkey, before I got my air filter on there I had it running and put my hand up, WOOSH it got stuck to the carb.

So basically what Im saying is superchargers/turbos have to move soooooo much air to turn that vaccum into boost and all these things on eBay are doing is creating resistance.

120 CFM is not going to help a 300hp engine! and I love this line. "Most cars arnt set up for any kind of forced injection."

You are bidding on a brand new in box Electric Supercharger. This charger runs up to 120.0 CFM.
This runs 120cfm too...
