Gonna need a pretty long extension cord for that...

 

Higher voltage means less current (for the same power). The lower current means thinner wiring. I've heard they can take maybe 50 or 100 pounds out of the wiring harness.

 

Actually, I'm using a 1200v power inverter. No need for an extension cord.

 

Yeah, I was just hassling you for fun. It'll be interesting to hear how it works. I'm still a little skeptical about real power gains.

 

the thing is the "good" electric super chargers are basically a fan, and its not easy to get a fan to generate the force to counter any back pressure that may be created while the engine is running... and if you dont think theres backpressure... look at your intake manifold.... and all of the happy gunk thats built up in it. But in the end theres only one that i know of that can help in any way and you need two of them to get any real benifit, but for over 600 bucks you might as well get n2o

 

I believe youre talking about the eRam systems. Ive read that they can produce about 1psi. $300 for 5 hp? Not for me. Or $585 for 2psi - 8hp? not for me either.

If anyone is serious about doing an electric supercharger go to www.boosthead.com this is the only real electric forced induction system that can actually compete with turbo or "real" superchargers. Its actually pretty interesting.
