do they even work??? :S
i know superchargers are belt/gear/shaft driven, and have intercoolers, and you can boost them
this one apparently adds 10HP :mellow:

there was a thread on mx6.com ages ago about a guy who did some work on these electric superchargers...

it was like, you need a bigger alternator, more batteries and about 12 of them.. and even then it made about 2psi but you ended up losing 40hp due to added pressure of a bigger alternator


*i could be wrong with some of the info here, but thats pretty much the jist of it..

but buy it and give it a shot, then return it because it didn't give you anymore housepowersz

Why do troll's not know what troll's are.

I think it works on the principle that any forced induction equals epik powa outputs. Looks more like a restriction then anything else.

"Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water. This may be behind a moving boat, or by slowly winding the line in when fishing from a static position, or even sweeping the line from side-to-side, eg when fishing from a jetty. Trolling is used to catch pelagic fish such as salmon, mackerel and kingfish."

LOL @ people who pronounce it "troll" like "Troll Dolls" instead of "trawl".


Basically, 'Troll' is when someone says something ridiculous (bait) to see how many people they can (catch) trick into giving them a response.

e.g: "My Stock SR-20 is faster than your 1000hp RB-26"

"How the hell can it be faster!"

Trolled.
